Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have taken a pregnancy test a few days ago and it turned out to be positive. I took two tests, just to make sure and they both were positive. I was supposed to have my period on March 29, but conception happened on March 14 and the first day of my last period was February 29. I do not feel any changes at all, is it possible that that may not be true at all? Or the tests I took were not accurate? If I got my period this April 29, what does it even mean since I already missed my supposedly period on March 29? I am currently taking Myra e and Poten cee.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you checked twice for urine pregnancy test and it turned out positive, it implies you have been pregnant. It is not necessary that everyone experiences nausea and vomitings or early signs of pregnancy similarly, some may not feel any symptoms, or some have mild symptoms. The urine hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) tests are definitely an accurate way for testing pregnancy, rather than just relying on symptoms and they cannot be wrong as you had missed your periods too, and it tested positive twice. And if you are pregnant, you would not be even getting your periods again this April too. It would be advisable to get an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy if in doubt, the site (intra or extra uterine), the gestational age, and the fetal viability. Also, you can start using Folic acid tablets.

Investigations to be done

Routine antenatal investigation.

Treatment plan

Tablet Folic Acid 5 mg daily.

Preventive measures

Avoid sexual intercourse in the first three months.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
