Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Positive reaction on a pregnancy strip would mostly indicate that you could be pregnant.
Kindly get the following tests done to know the status:
1. Blood for beta HCG levels.
2. Transvaginal Ultrasound Scan (TVS).
Kindly consult Gynecologist with the reports for evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the ebst.
