Today I tested positive on a pregnancy test. Should I consult a doctor immediately or wait for one more week? My last menstrual period was 5 days ago, on 20th November.

If you tested positive on a pregnancy test and your period was due around 20 November, then you are approximately 4 to 5 weeks pregnant. It is safe to wait one more week before consulting a doctor unless you notice pain, spotting, or unusual symptoms. The first ultrasound is usually done at 6 to 7 weeks to confirm the heartbeat. In the meantime, start taking folic acid daily for babys development.
