Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
At present you need Ultrasound of pelvis.
It is the investigation of choice to confirm pregnancy.It can detect G-sac earliest.
Urine pregnancy test may be negative in early pregnancy due to less amount of HCG in urine.You can also repeat UPT after one week.
If pregnancy is excluded then you should be properly evaluated for menstrual irregularity.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
