Urine test kits are designed for early pregnancy. At 5 months, the hormone levels are different, so a blood test or an ultrasound by your gynac is the correct way to check.

Piles can sometimes cause bleeding, which can be very scary during pregnancy. It is extremely important to consult your doctor immediately to rule out any other complications.
