Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Confirmatory test for pregnancy is to check your blood for beta HCG and transvaginal ultrasound.

So i recommend you to get a transvaginal ultrasound and blood levels for beta HCG.
If the titres are increasing, it is confirmatory of pregnancy.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you have further doubts. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Dr Nilofer

Hello,

Missed periods are calculated from first day of last menstrual cycle. Since march 16th was your last menstrual period, you have missed your periods by 2 days.

As your symptoms of pregnancy are getting more intense, i recommend you to repeat urine pregnancy test after one week of missed periods. It is 99% accurate.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further help.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.

If done on the day of missed periods, it is 95% sensitive .
If done one week later it is 99% sensitive.

So, i advice you to wait for 1 more week and repeat the urine pregnancy test.

Dr Nilofer
