My period is 5 days late and im suspecting na something. Apart from the home strip test, which test does the doc actually do to confirm? First time so i have no idea.
Yeah, I started with the basic home urine kit too! But I've heard some girls get blood tests done directly. I'm currently in my 10th week, do we have to do any special genetic tests soon? Let me know what your doctor says.
Don't waste money on expensive labs first. Just get a 50 rupee home test kit from the medical store. If it shows positive, then book a normal blood test and go to your family doctor. Keep it simple and budget-friendly.
I did the home test twice because I couldn't believe it! Then my gynac did an ultrasound scan at 7 weeks to check the baby's heartbeat. Did anyone else feel super nervous waiting for that first scan result? I was holding my breath the whole time.
First step is always a simple home urine pregnancy test (UPT) using your first morning urine. If that is positive, you should visit a gynecologist who will likely order a Beta hCG blood test and a dating scan around 6-8 weeks.
Just buy a simple Prega News kit from any local chemist first, beta. Do the test first thing in the morning because that urine has the highest hormone levels. Once you see two lines, go to a good doc and she will guide you for blood tests.
I still remember the day I did that home urine test, my hands were shaking so much! When those two pink lines appeared, I felt a mix of pure joy and fear. We then did a blood test called Beta hCG to confirm it 100%.
