Hi, I have missed my period for 6 days. When I checked with an HPT, it was positive, and the test line is much darker than the control line. I am having mild pain and a sensation on one side of my abdomen. Is this normal? The pain is very mild, but I am worried if this could be a serious issue?

A dark positive HPT usually confirms pregnancy. Mild pain on one side can be normal in early stages. To rule out issues like ectopic pregnancy, do a Serum beta hCG Test and Pelvic Ultrasound. These confirm location and health of the pregnancy.

Hello, recently we got to know that my wife is pregnant and we went to a gynaecologist recommended by my close friends. The doctor told us to do a few blood tests for pregnancy confirmation. After the results of the report, we got to know that she is 100 percent pregnant. Also, she is found with a little bit high blood pressure. She suggested folic acid capsules, sachets of AGS 90 for BP control, and progesterone. So we asked why she suggested progesterone drug in early pregnancy but the answer was not satisfactory, and we have read many myths about progesterone. Now we are confused whether it is safe to take progesterone? And why did she recommend this drug to my wife?

Can I get a blood test on the 6th day after my embryo transfer, mam? I have no symptoms and am in the 2 week wait, so I am anxious about the results.
