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.

Hi, I have missed my period for 6 days. When I checked with an HPT, it was positive, and the test line is much darker than the control line. I am having mild pain and a sensation on one side of my abdomen. Is this normal? The pain is very mild, but I am worried if this could be a serious issue?

Mam or sir, is it true that beta hcg test has no connection with when you had sex? Will the test give an accurate result only after a missed period?

I had my periods on 30 june. I had unprotected sex on 11 july. My periods were due on 30 july, but till now they have not come. I did a pregnancy HCG kit test yesterday, and the result was negative. I had unprotected sex again yesterday, making sure no semen got inside me. This morning, I did another pregnancy test, and the result was negative. What should I do to bring my periods? Is it still possible that I am pregnant after two negative HCG test results? I am very worried. Please help me.
