HELLO

WITH REGULAR CYCLES AND MISSING PERIODS THE FIRST THING TO BE RULED OUT IS PREGNANCY.

URINE PREGNANCY TEST IS POSITIVE WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF MISSING PERIODS. IN SUCH A DOUBTFUL CONDITION AS YOURS GO FOR A BLOOD INVESTIGATION, THE SERUM BETA HCG .IT IS HIGHLY SENSITIVE FOR EARLY PREGNANCY.
THANK YOU
