Serum beta hCG blood test will identify if there is pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) This pain after 2 weeks is not related to pregnancy or taking pills.

2) This pain is likely to be gastritis.Please take an antacid available over the counter and see if the pain reduces.

3) Please do a serum beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy rather than guessing it. The pain you described cannot be correlated to pregnancy.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
