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?

Congratulations. Start folic acid immediately and schedule first scan at 6 to 7 weeks. Tiredness is common in early pregnancy. If severe, check thyroid and hemoglobin.

I had a frozen embryo transfer on 4th July. Initially, I experienced mild period like cramps, which have now stopped, but I still have occasional mild pelvic and lower back pain. I am taking all my medications as prescribed, including Crinone 8 percent progesterone gel. Since yesterday, I have had a burning sensation while urinating. Can I take a beta HCG test now to check if I am pregnant, or should I wait a few more days? I am really worried, please advise.

Is there any chance that she is pregnant? Her blood test report shows a result of 0.36. Please clarify, as this is causing trauma.

Hi Doctor, I am writing on behalf of my wife. We are trying to conceive. Her last period started on 13th August, and her next period is due on 13th Sept. We went ahead and did an hCG blood test, and the result came back as 92. We also tried a urine pregnancy test, which showed a faint positive line. Does this mean she is pregnant? Can pregnancy be confirmed even before the missed period? We are a bit confused and not sure if we should celebrate yet. Please guide us.
