12 day delayed period with negative test may be due to stress or hormonal imbalance. Repeat test after 3 days if no period.

Hi. I had IUI done on 23rd December. I am using Susten 300 and Duphaston tablets and took an HCG shot (5000) before IUI. Can I get a correct pregnancy test result while using these medicines? How and when should I take the test? My LMP is 10th December. Kindly suggest?

I am 28 years old and just took a pregnancy test, which came back positive. I am feeling very anxious, extremely tired, and drowsy. I already have one child, 4.5 years old. Could you please advise what steps I should take next and any precautions I should follow at this stage?
