Other than pregnancy kit, what can I opt to check pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old married woman. I have got my last period before two months. I am having nausea for a few days. I have tested through pregnancy kit, and it is negative thrice during these two months. What should I do? Is there any blood test or other way I can check what is wrong?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Irregular periods can occur due to many causes like stress and strain, dietary changes, etc., leading to hormonal imbalance. General conditions like anemia, thyroid abnormalities, etc., can also cause irregular periods. To find out the exact cause of the problem, please go for a blood test to check pregnancy which is more accurate than a urine test. If that gives negative result, pregnancy is almost ruled out. The other option is ultrasound, which helps in ruling out the pregnancy and also to find out other possible causes of irregular periods like polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), etc. Hope I have answered your query.
