Hello,
Thank you for asking your question here.
I understand your concern.
But unfortunately there is nothing you can do to avoid pregnancy at this stage since the home pregnancy test is positive and that means you are already pregnant.However there can be false positive results with home pregnancy test and you should consult your primary care physician / gynecologist to confirm pregnancy.
However according to your last menstrual period ,you are 6 weeks along in pregnancy (assuming you have regular menstrual cycles.You are quite early along
I suggest that you and your husband consult your doctor. Your doctor can guide through various options including either keeping the pregnancy or medical termination of pregnancy depending on the laws in your country/state of residence.
Terminating pregnancy at early gestational age is more safe and cause less side effects.
I know that this is not an easy decision for you. I hope you and your husband can discuss about the situation with your doctor and come to decision that is best for you and your family.
Hope I was able to help you.
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
