Brief Answer:
urine pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hello, to know that all you need to do is to do a urine pregnancy test and see for two lines.
In case there are two lines it will confirm your pregnant status.
And to see the age of pregnancy you will need to get an ultrasound done which will confirm the age of pregnancy.
All the best.

Are bloated stomach and pelvic pain the pregnancy symptom?

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
can be related to pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Not always but yes these symptoms are usually present in pregnancy.
But even in non pregnant state if the periods are delayed due to some other physiological reasons then also these symptoms occur.
So pregnancy test can be the only conclusive and easy test right now.

Just curious, is it normal to have delay for 2 weeks? I am worried because I went for a butt massage last week and the pain comes after that. Wind trapped in my stomach and really hurts.

physiological reasons.

Detailed Answer:
Most common physiological reasons for delay in periods are
- stress which can be professional or domestic

Brief Answer:
tubal ectopic pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Get an ultrasound done as soon as possible because it seems like you have a tubal ectopic pregnancy.
Don't take it lightly because in case it is a tubal pregnancy then it is a surgical emergency.
Visit a gynecologist at the earliest.
All the best.

I will see doctor tomorrow.but I don't get bleeding like my friend who also ectopic. I hope everything will be fine.

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (47 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
avoid exertion

Detailed Answer:
Yes bleeding occurs only when ectopic ruptures but in your case most probably if it is ectopic pregnancy then it has not ruptured yet which is a good thing but then still you cannot wait anymore as it can rupture anytime.
And also avoid any exertion or sexual contact till you visit your doctor.
