My period has been missing for the past 1 month and I have been sick for the past 2 days. I just got my blood report, and everything is normal except my ESR, which is 100 mm/h. Is this a sign of pregnancy?

ESR is not used to detect pregnancy. A missed period needs confirmation via urine or blood pregnancy test.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a URINE PREGNANCY TEST (CARD METHOD) Test or Take a BETA HCG (TOTAL) Test

Question

I have a 28 day cycle, but today is the 31st day, and I have not yet gotten my period. We have been trying for a baby for the last few months. Is this missed period a sign of pregnancy? After how many days of a missed period should a home pregnancy test be done?

Question

I am a PCOD patient. A few days ago, I consulted a doctor who suggested some tests and recommended taking Primolut N (5 mg) for my upcoming period. After my period, I shared my report with the doctor and she suggested the medicine Crisanta. My query is that my period is currently missed, can I take Primolut N now or not?

Question

I am 10 days late for my period. I did a urine pregnancy test, a blood beta hCG test (less than 1.26), and an ultrasound, all came back negative. Could I still be pregnant? I am very worried. Also, my hemoglobin is low at 7 (normal 12 to 15). If my hemoglobin level improves in the future, could that make a pregnancy test turn positive?
