Use a urine pregnancy test at home or a lab. A blood test called beta hCG confirms pregnancy early. An ultrasound can then track the baby growth. Do consult an obstetrician.

Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

I have used Sevista 60 mg from 26th June till 11th August. I am not having periods though my pregnancy test report is negative. How long should I wait for my periods to come? If I want to have sex, will I start Overal L again in this situation? Will Overal L give me protection against pregnancy? Will it take months or days for my periods to normalize since I stopped Sevista on 11th August? In the absence of periods, if I start Ovral L, will it prevent pregnancy?

I had unprotected sexual intercourse on 15th October and consumed an i-pill on 16th itself within 24 hours. After 10 days, that is on 26th, I experienced bleeding which I believe was my period because it lasted for 5 days with severe cramps on the first two days. Now this month, for a few days I am feeling inflammation and uneasiness in my stomach with loss of appetite and sometimes thigh and leg pain. For a few days a strand of blood with white discharge is also noticed. I have tested for pregnancy during this time span and all tests came negative. My period has not arrived yet. Am I pregnant?

Sir, I have been suffering from lower abdominal pain and back pain for the last 2 days. Urine report says infection. I had unprotected sex also. My periods are also due. Is this a symptom of pregnancy?
