I am 30 years old and have a 9 year old son via C section. I am planning for a second baby. My last period was on February 7, and I have not gotten my period since. I have taken multiple pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. However, I am experiencing bloating, dizziness, food cravings, strong smells, and occasional nausea. I feel like I might be pregnant. How can I confirm whether I am pregnant? Please advise

Symptoms may be due to hormonal imbalance, not always pregnancy. Do a Beta hCG blood test if still no periods. If negative, test hormones like TSH, Prolactin, FSH. Stress or PCOS can delay periods too.

Take a Beta HCG Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

Hi Doctor. I have been observing a faint pink line four days after my missed period. I did a beta HCG test on the fifth day of my missed period, and the reading was 106.7. Can this be considered positive?

Hi Doctor, I am planning for pregnancy this month and had intercourse on my fertile days. Tomorrow is my period due date. My last LMP was 04 oct. My urine pregnancy test showed a faint line yesterday and today. I did a beta hCG blood test today and the result is 14.67. Am I pregnant or not?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

If my test comes out positive, what should I do? Please suggest, as I am married and unable to go to the hospital for this purpose.
