My friend menstrual cycle is delayed by 1 week. She has had consistent unprotected sex, with the last instance 2 days ago. She recently had a fever for a day and now has a cold and cough. She took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. Could this test be wrong? It is an unwanted pregnancy, what options does she have?

Positive test and missed period is likely pregnant. Fever/cold do not affect test. Consult gynecologist for safe options. Do Serum Beta hCG test to confirm. Avoid self medication.

I am 28 years old and just took a pregnancy test, which came back positive. I am feeling very anxious, extremely tired, and drowsy. I already have one child, 4.5 years old. Could you please advise what steps I should take next and any precautions I should follow at this stage?

I was trying to conceive and underwent a follicular study. After ovulation, my doctor prescribed Susten 400 (vaginal) for 15 days. My last LMP was 1st August. I have neither got my period nor is my pregnancy test positive. Can you suggest the possible cause? Does Susten 400 delay periods, or could I still be pregnant?

I am 26 years old. It has been 62 days since my last period, and I am trying to conceive, but my urine pregnancy test shows negative. I am worried. For the past week, I have been experiencing stomach burns and slight changes in my body condition. What could be the reason?
