Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can fully understand your concern and will surely help you. If you are sexually active, then there is a likelihood of pregnancy. I request you to tell me when your last menstrual period was and when you did the pregnancy test. We could do a blood hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test if it were one week from your missed periods. Do you have any history of irregular periods or any other health issues?

Do not worry. Kindly share the details as requested to help you better.

I suggest a blood hCG test be done tomorrow if possible for accurate results of pregnancy. Based upon the test outcome, we can decide the future treatment. If a blood hCG test is not possible, please do a urine pregnancy test at home with the first urine of the day. Do not drink excess fluid before the test. Also, adhere to all the guidelines written on the package of kit, especially for the timeline.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

Sometimes tests can be negative due to incorrect test procedures. A blood hCG test is done at a diagnostic center or laboratory to give a clear idea about pregnancy, and that is why I suggested it. You being sexually active, there are chances of pregnancy.

There are relatively lesser chances of pregnancy when compared to the ovulation period, but it is not impossible to get pregnant by having sex just before or after your periods.
