I did a pregnancy test, and it is positive. However, I am experiencing mild cramps on both sides of my lower abdomen and some backache. What could be the reason for these symptoms?

Cramping in early pregnancy is often normal. Watch for severe pain or bleeding. Early scan ensures no ectopic pregnancy. Avoid stress and heavy work. Do a Serum beta hCG and Pelvic Ultrasound.

My girlfriend and I had intercourse on 27th July and 10th August. Her last period started on 21st July, and her periods are usually regular. This time, she has not gotten her period. She took pregnancy tests on 24th, 26th, 27th, and 28th August, and all were negative. One doctor advised taking Meprate tablets, but I am still confused. Could she be pregnant, and is it safe to take Meprate in this situation? What should we do next?

I had a D and C on 10th August and got my period on 10th Sept. Today I took a pregnancy test, and it came out positive. Since I conceived just one month after my D and C, am I at an increased risk of miscarriage again?

After a home pregnancy test report was negative, I have not had my period for approximately one and a half months. What should I do next?
