Question 1

Hello, recently we got to know that my wife is pregnant and we went to a gynaecologist recommended by my close friends. The doctor told us to do a few blood tests for pregnancy confirmation. After the results of the report, we got to know that she is 100 percent pregnant. Also, she is found with a little bit high blood pressure. She suggested folic acid capsules, sachets of AGS 90 for BP control, and progesterone. So we asked why she suggested progesterone drug in early pregnancy but the answer was not satisfactory, and we have read many myths about progesterone. Now we are confused whether it is safe to take progesterone? And why did she recommend this drug to my wife?

Question 2

I had sex with my boyfriend last month. I want my periods to come by the 1st of every month. My period is delayed by three days, and I took a pregnancy test, which was positive. When should I take an unwanted pregnancy kit, and how much bleeding should I expect after abortion?

Question 3

How many days of pregnancy can be detected through a serum beta hCG test, and how accurate is it? Is there any other test to confirm pregnancy?

I took a pregnancy test on the morning of my missed period, and it showed negative. However, I still have doubts. I had sexual intercourse on the 11th day of my cycle?

Testing on the first missed day may be too early. Day 11 is within the fertile window, so pregnancy is possible. Repeat test after 2 to 3 days or take a Serum beta hCG Test for confirmation.
