Today I tested positive on a pregnancy test. Should I consult a doctor immediately or wait for one more week? My last menstrual period was 5 days ago, on 20th November.

If you tested positive on a pregnancy test and your period was due around 20 November, then you are approximately 4 to 5 weeks pregnant. It is safe to wait one more week before consulting a doctor unless you notice pain, spotting, or unusual symptoms. The first ultrasound is usually done at 6 to 7 weeks to confirm the heartbeat. In the meantime, start taking folic acid daily for babys development.

When I was pregnant, I used only medicine for abortion. After the abortion, I checked my blood report, and my abortion was complete. However, my periods have not come for the last two months.

My wife Beta hCG test report is 19.85, and she is now experiencing slight bleeding. Is this normal during early pregnancy? Should we be concerned, or is this a common symptom? Please advise.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is there any chance that she is pregnant? Her blood test report shows a result of 0.36. Please clarify, as this is causing trauma.
