What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy With Positive UPT?
I have taken a pregnancy test last night and it tested positive, I m going to purchase the abortion pill. Abortion is illegal in my country so the doctor will just be able to provide me with the pills. Is it safe for me to just go by the results of the pregnancy test that showed positive or should I go to the doctor and get a pregnancy test ? What is the difference between the store bought test and a test performed by a doctor ?

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the positive urine pregnancy test suggests the presence of pregnancy.
The pregnancy can be tested by blood HCG test,urine pregnancy test by strip.
Ultrasound helps in knowing the age and well being of pregnancy.
The doctors also perform urine pregnancy test by strip method and there might not be any difference between the test performed on your own and the doctor performed one.
Mostly the positive urine pregnancy test indicates pregnancy.
I suggest you to take abortion pills under doctor supervision to avoid complications like incomplete abortion,heavy bleeding etc.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
