How Can Pregnancy Be Confirmed?
I m breast feeding my 1 year old daughter exclusively and she has her feed in regular intervals in the night as well. My periods have been irregular for the last 1 year...It was on Nov 17th and then on Jan 9th this year. I had intercourse on Feb 4th and I m afraid if I ve conceived. Could you please let me know how do I know if I am, other than getting a test as I just moved to a new place few days ago n find difficult to locate the store. Thank you.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the only way to confirm pregnancy would be to assess the levels of HCG or imaging by ultrasound. HCG is the hormone produced during pregnancy.
A blood or home urine test can check for the HCG.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
