Some women may have very early symptoms but certainty of pregnancy confirmation is low until she misses her period.

  1. Pregnancy Detection Timeline
    It is not possible to confirm pregnancy the day after unprotected sex. The body requires time to produce detectable levels of pregnancy hormones.

  2. Reliable Testing Period
    A pregnancy test is typically reliable about 10-14 days after conception, when the hormone hCG can be detected in urine.

  3. Testing Recommendations

    • Wait at least a week after a missed period before taking a home pregnancy test.
    • Consult a healthcare provider for more accurate testing options if needed.
  4. Emergency Contraception
    If concerned about pregnancy risk, discuss emergency contraception options with a healthcare professional promptly.

Recommended next steps

Consult a Obstetrician and Gynaecologist or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

I'm currently 132 weeks pregnant, and I've noticed that my fasting sugar levels have gone up to 110, while they used to be around 75 before I got pregnant. Should I be worried about gestational diabetes? And what steps can I take to manage it? I'm also concerned about whether this could harm my baby.

110 mgdL fasting blood sugar is elevated but not necessarily a sign of gestational diabetes on its own. Confirmatory testing will help determine your next steps.

A soft bump under the armpit may be ectopic breast tissue or a lipoma. It’s usually harmless, but an ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis.

Can homeopathy actually cure uterine prolapse and up to which stage is it effective? I've heard there are four stages of prolapse but not sure when homeopathic treatment works and at what point surgery becomes necessary. Would love some clarity on how far homeopathy can help before needing other options

Uterine prolapse, where the uterus descends into the vagina, can be treated with various methods, ranging from conservative approaches like pelvic floor exercises and pessaries to surgical options. The most suitable treatment depends on the severity of the prolapse, the patient's overall health, and their future fertility plans
