Hi Doctor, My height is 5 feet 6 inches, weight 61kgs. Medical history : LMP: 01-04-2013. Married for 4 years, 1) had an ectopic pregnancy in May 2011 and left tube was removed. 2) Had a missed abortion in dec 2011 in 6 weeks.3) had tested positive in sep 2012 which reulted in periods in 2 days after testing positive subsequently i had chicken pox which dr. termed it as chemical abortion. this month ie april 2013, my dr advised for siphene 50mg from day 2 to dat 5 and i was advised for follicular study. Day 17, the follicle ruptured. i was then advised for Duphaston 10mg twice daily.today i took the pregnancy urine test and found negative. My question is 1) Is it too early for a pregnancy test ?2) since my ovulation happnend on 17th day, should i get the results now? 3) if this theraphy doesnt work, what is the alternate theraphy. thanks for your help.

Hello ramya
Thanks for your query.
Firstly you need investigations to know the cause of two abortions.
Rule out genetic ( chromosomal ) causes, abnormalities in size and shape of the uterus or cervix, intrauterine infections, autoimmune disorders and hormonal imbalances.
After this evaluation only you should plan a pregnancy.
Meanwhile, a pregnancy test is positive 2 weeks after ovulation.
However to be on the safer side, add 3-4 day more and then go for it.
If this therapy doesnt work, please go for evaluation of your fallopian tube patency ( as you had previous ectopic ) by laparoscopy.
The further steps would be indicated by the findings of the laparoscopy.
Take care.
