Hello,
I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1. First of all, do not panic.
2. As home pregnancy test kits are quite reliable. I usually suggest getting the morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. In case of doubt blood, beta HCG test, and ultrasound will be of help.
3. Ultrasound will be helpful to know or rule out polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as a cause for irregular cycles.
Usually to my patients with PCOS, I suggest ad following -
Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits, salads, and vegetables in daily diet. Drink plenty of water in the day. Avoid deep-fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars. Use of vitamin B 12 and Folic acid supplements at least three months before you plan to get pregnant on a daily basis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
