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.

Hi, 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?

I had protected sex with my partner on 12th June and got my periods on 21st June, which was very light compared to usual and lasted for three days. I took a pregnancy test after a week, which was negative. I took another test after four days, which was also negative. Now in July my period was due on 21st July but I am nine days late. Is there any chance of pregnancy?
