Hi there,
I appreciate your query.
f you have skipped your normal period ( exceeded the normal date of your period every month ) and you are sexually active, you should go for a Urine Pregnancy Test ( HCG ) to confirm pregnancy.
None of the other symptoms are reliable.
Kindly purchase a home pregnancy test Kit commonly available at medical stores. Please select a proper brand and confirm the expiry date of the kit. Also, it is better to purchase a Urine Culture vial ( small container for collecting urine ) also readily available at medical stores. Please collect your first morning sample of urine, that is the first voided urine sample in the early morning , in the container. Open your pregnancy test kit, it contains a dropper which you can fill with two - three drops of urine from the container. Put the drops into the well shown on the pregnancy kit strip and wait for 3 - 5 minutes. One positive line means that you are not pregnant. Two positive lines ( pink lines ) indicate a pregnancy. No lines indicate that the kit is defective. Please read the instructions on the pregnancy kit once more before proceeding.
Also, if your test is negative , but you fail to have your periods, you need to consult a gynaecologist, and similarly you need a consultation for a positive test too.
Hope this helped.
