Hi there,
Dear Candace, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1 ) First of all do not panic.
2 ) If you have history of regular cycles and unprotected sex act in the fertile period of cycle, means between day 10 to 20 of the cycle , then I will suggest you to get morning's first sample of urine tested for
pregnancy. In case of doubt blood
beta HCG test and USG will be of help.
The dilemma about urine pregnancy test is due to dilution of hormone
Human chorionic gonadotropin, usually very first sample of urine is concentrated in the morning . Hence , it gives you more reliable report.
3 ) As you might be aware that the very first and important sign of pregnancy is a missing period. Other symptoms can be related to pregnancy only if there is confirmed diagnosis of pregnancy.
4 ) Even If you are pregnant, you can opt for termination of the pregnancy with medicines safely till 9 weeks of pregnancy under medical supervision.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar.
