Hi Aisha,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pregnancy can be tested in urine by about a week after missing the periods. It can be confirmed by means of ultrasound scan of abdomen.
In ultrasound scan, fetal pole and gestational sac needs to be visualised first followed by appearance of cardiac activity by 6 - 8 weeks.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
