Does Heartburn After Having Surgery To Remove Endometriosis Indicates Sign Of Pregnancy?
Hi there, I am just wondering if heartburn (which i never get) could be a sign of early pregnancy? I am due my period tomorrow/Sat...Could I do a test tomorrow? This is my first month trying since having surgery to remove Endometriosis. Thank you :)

Hi,
Heart burn can be one of the early symptoms of pregnancy but as a single sign, it is vague. You cannot get a proper reading in the urine pregnancy test if you do it on the day of your expected period. You should wait for 3-7 days after a missed period to get the result. Yet, if you want to confirm/exclude pregnancy now, you can get the estimation of serum beta-hCG levels done. This is a better and confirmatory method. Hope this helps.
