First time pregnant and the doc kept using this term in my report. Honestly matlab i didnt fully understand what it means. Can someone explain in simple words?
Pregnancy diagnosis involves confirming the pregnancy using urine HCG kits, blood tests, and finally a dating scan. My doctor said the ultrasound is crucial to confirm if the pregnancy is in the uterus.
It simply means confirming your pregnancy. Usually, a home urine test is done first, but my doctor advised a beta HCG blood test and an ultrasound to be absolutely sure.
With my PCOS history, my periods were always late, so diagnosis was tricky. A blood test is the most accurate way to confirm instead of just relying on home kits.
I felt so many butterflies when my doctor officially diagnosed my pregnancy! Hearing the word 'positive' from the clinic after the tests made it feel so real and emotional.
