Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My period has been absent for over four months. My last intercourse occurred three months ago. If I am indeed pregnant, how many weeks along would my pregnancy be? Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Uzma Arqam

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Please provide me with a detailed history of your situation. I suggest you undergo a serum beta hCG test, a blood pregnancy test, to ascertain your pregnancy status. Have you recently noticed any unusual symptoms such as abnormal weight gain or abnormal hair growth on your chin, face, arms, or forearms? These symptoms could potentially be indicative of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Were your periods regular before this absence? This information is crucial. All of these questions are significant factors. If the pregnancy test yields a positive result, you can then proceed with the initial pregnancy scan, typically conducted around eight to nine weeks of pregnancy or later. Conversely, if the test returns a negative result, you might require menstrual induction along with day two sex hormonal tests and a transvaginal scan. These steps will help assess pelvic health and identify any potential pathologies. You can either discuss all the investigations here or with a local gynecologist. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

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