Seventeen days after my IUI, I took a urine pregnancy test, and it is showing a faint line. I have attached a photo of the test for reference.

A faint line on a urine pregnancy test 17 days after IUI usually suggests a positive result. Faint lines can appear due to early pregnancy when hCG levels are still rising. Repeat a urine pregnancy test after 2 to 3 days to see if the line darkens. For confirmation, a serum beta hCG test can be done to accurately check pregnancy levels. Continue taking any prescribed medications and follow up with your doctor for further guidance.

View allHi, my friend has had irregular periods for a long time, occurring once every 2 to 3 months. She consulted an allopathy doctor and all tests, including thyroid and scans, were normal. The doctor suggested it should improve after her marriage. She continues to have hair fall but no weight gain or loss. I suggested consulting an Ayurvedic doctor from Kerala. She is taking the medicines suggested by the doctor, but this time it has been 2.5 months and she has not got her period. Before that, her periods continued for 2 months, though the flow was very less. She is also worried about pregnancy, but they are not planning to have children for another 1 to 2 years. She did home pregnancy tests twice in October, once in the first week and once in the last week, after skipping her 2 month period. Just in case, the urine test was a false result. They are planning to go for a blood test. Is it possible that the home test was wrong both times, and can the blood test report be trusted?

After a home pregnancy test report was negative, I have not had my period for approximately one and a half months. What should I do next?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I am married, and my last menstrual period was on May 9. I usually have a regular cycle of 27 to 28 days. We take proper hygiene measures after intercourse. I have not yet had my period this month. I experienced cramps around my expected date, but my period did not arrive. I took a home pregnancy test on the 34th day, which was negative. It has now been 36 days. Should I wait longer, try period inducing foods, or do heavy workouts? Please advise.
