Question 1

My last period came on 1st February. On 1st March, I had severe pain with a little pinkish discharge, and after two days, a red spot appeared. Pregnancy test and urine test were negative. Today is 8th March, and my period has not come. What should I do? Am I pregnant or not? What is the reason for the negative test?

Question 2

Hi, my friend has had irregular periods for a long time, occurring once every 2 to 3 months. She consulted an allopathy doctor and all tests, including thyroid and scans, were normal. The doctor suggested it should improve after her marriage. She continues to have hair fall but no weight gain or loss. I suggested consulting an Ayurvedic doctor from Kerala. She is taking the medicines suggested by the doctor, but this time it has been 2.5 months and she has not got her period. Before that, her periods continued for 2 months, though the flow was very less. She is also worried about pregnancy, but they are not planning to have children for another 1 to 2 years. She did home pregnancy tests twice in October, once in the first week and once in the last week, after skipping her 2 month period. Just in case, the urine test was a false result. They are planning to go for a blood test. Is it possible that the home test was wrong both times, and can the blood test report be trusted?

Question 3

Hi, can you tell me which tests are required in early pregnancy so that I can visit the doctor with all the tests? Please suggest the names of the tests?

HCG is rising slowly (not doubling in 48 hrs), but since a small gestational sac is visible, early pregnancy is still progressing. Continue progesterone and hCG 5000 IU as prescribed. Repeat scan as advised. Chances are fair but need close follow-up.
