How Efficient Are Home Pregnancy Tests?
I recently stopped taking birth control, and then began experiencing symptoms of pregnancy, including a missed period. I've taken three pregnancy tests that were positive, should I accept that I'm pregnant, or is there still a possibility that I am not?

Hi,
3 pregnancy tests and a missed period definitely indicate pregnancy. If you still have doubts you could get a blood hCG done which will tell your exact levels and repeat blood hCG after 2 days, which shows doubling of values will indicate a normally growing pregnancy in most cases.
So, please see a gynecologist for further care of pregnancy.
Hope this helps.
