Can I get an early pregnancy blood test without a prescription? I have tested four times with a home pregnancy kit, but all results were negative. Since these kits may not detect low hCG levels, when should I visit a doctor to confirm if I am pregnant? I am 21 years old, unmarried, and usually have very regular periods.

Yes, you can get a Serum Beta hCG blood test without a prescription to detect pregnancy early, even if urine tests are negative due to low hCG. Since your periods are usually regular and now delayed, you can take this test now for clarity. If the test is negative and your period does not come within a week, repeat the test or consult your doctor to rule out pregnancy and check for hormonal imbalance.

My friend menstrual cycle is delayed by 1 week. She has had consistent unprotected sex, with the last instance 2 days ago. She recently had a fever for a day and now has a cold and cough. She took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. Could this test be wrong? It is an unwanted pregnancy, what options does she have?

I had a day 5 frozen embryo transfer (blastocyst) on 4th July. Initially, I experienced period like cramps and pelvic discomfort for 3 to 4 days, but since then I have not had any such symptoms. I am worried about whether I am pregnant. My doctor has asked me to come on 19th July for a Beta HCG test. Can I check a home pregnancy test today to get an idea of whether I am pregnant?

My last period was on July 25. I consulted a gynecologist on August 9, and a pregnancy test that morning was negative. Thyroid and hormone tests were normal. The doctor prescribed Gynaset for 5 days, which I completed. On September 16, I tested for pregnancy again, and the result was positive. Can this result be considered accurate? What should I do next?
