Hello soniya
thanks for your health query.
The urine pregnancy test that you take at home is generally 97 % reliable in diagnosis of a pregnancy.
If thrice the result has been positive, then yes, you can safely conclude that you indeed ARE pregnant.
Of course, you should consult a gynecologist and have the condition confirmed, and proper advice and medications should be taken.
you should start taking folic acid supplements daily also as you have now come to know that you are pregnant.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care.
