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

Mam I had unprotected sex on 2nd October. She got her periods on 8th October with normal periods. If I want to be fully 100 percent assured that she is not pregnant what to do and when to do? If I take a beta hcg test then when can I take it for the perfect and final result? Will one time test be fine or is a second time test required if the first time I get a negative result? Please answer and clear my doubt sir and mam.

Madam/sir I missed my periods on 26th October. I took a test on 27th October beta hcg blood test that was negative and after 3 days I again took a test on 30th October that was positive 27.01. My question is I read online that one time beta hcg test is enough to detect pregnancy after missed periods. Why in my case it took 4 more days after missed periods? I got really worried?

Hi, I am taking Meprate 10 mg for 5 days. Today I completed my 4th day of the dose and I am experiencing slight breast pain. I was prescribed Meprate because my period was delayed by 15 days and my pregnancy test was negative. Could you please help me understand if this is normal?
