My husband and I had unprotected sex on 30th July and took an ipill. After that, we had unprotected sex a couple more times. My period was due on 17th August, but I started feeling dizziness, so I did a home pregnancy test, which showed one dark line and one faint pink line. Does this indicate that I might be pregnant, or could it be a hormonal imbalance due to the i pill? We are not prepared for pregnancy, so I need guidance on what to do next.

A faint second pink line along with a dark control line on your home pregnancy test usually indicates a positive result, even if it is light. Emergency pills like iPill can cause hormonal changes and delay periods, but they are not 100 percent effective. Since your period is due and you are getting a faint positive, repeat a urine pregnancy test after 2 to 3 days for confirmation, or consider a serum beta hCG test for a clear result. Consult your doctor to discuss further options based on the result.

Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

I am under fertility treatment. My last menstrual period was on November 8. I took letrozole from day 2 for 5 days. Follicles developed by day 9 measuring 23 by 17 mm and 21 by 16 mm. Two dominant follicles were there. By day 12 both ruptured. Endometrium thickness was 9 mm. From the next day I started taking Duphaston 10 mg morning and night for 15 days. From that day onwards I have been having spotting. After my 15 days course I stopped Duphaston on December 4. Today is December 12 and almost 9 days are over. My spotting stopped 2 days back but after stopping Duphaston spotting continued for some days. Today I took UPT but it was negative. Is there a possibility to get pregnant in this scenario? It has been 25 days after ovulation. Is it possible to ovulate and have no period or am I pregnant? Kindly clear my doubt and explain in detail about my report. Thank you.

For the past few months, I have been experiencing irregularities in my menstrual cycle, with delays in my periods. This month, I have missed my period entirely. All my blood tests and ultrasound reports are normal.
