When Should I Get Blood Test for Pregnancy Confirmation?

A red secondary line, even a very light one, can show that a woman is pregnant. It is best to wait at least one week after the missed period to do a blood test for confirmation. This allows your body to produce enough pregnancy hormones that the blood test can detect. If you have pregnancy symptoms like nausea, or breast tenderness, it is also good to mention that to a gynecologist.

36weeks pregnant doctor advised that fpp test ultrasound.. what's the meaning of fpp USG?

Female | 27

FPP ultrasound, short for 'fetal biophysical profile ultrasound,' is a special test ordered by your doctor to check your baby's health at 36 weeks. This test evaluates your baby's movements, muscle tone, breathing, and overall well-being to ensure everything is normal. It's a routine test to confirm that the fetus is healthy and won't need any intervention.

Hi! I took ipill on 23rd November, got withdrawal bleeding on 4th Dec, period is due on 12th Dec, it’s 14th Dec and I didn’t get my period yet. I am genuinely scared to death, feeling depressed. My chest hurts a lil and I feel nauseous in between. What’s happening to my body?

Female | 19

It is common to be worried about extreme thyroidization of your periods after taking emergency contraception; so, in this case, you are suffering from feeling anxious. Late periods are those that can occur due to stress, hormonal fluctuations or other changes in your body. The feeling of chest tightness and nausea could be associated with anxiety or caused by hormonal changes. You need to watch your condition closely and consider giving yourself peace of mind by using a home pregnancy test. In case if you aren't pregnant yet and symptoms get worse or your period still doesn't come, please contact a healthcare specialist. They will give you tailored advice and ensure that you have timely treatment.

I recently had unprotected anal sex. Ejaculate was expelled shortly afterwards and then I took a shower. Less a few hours later, my partner placed a finger in anal cavity and then into my vagina; could this result in a pregnancy? Thanks….

Female | 23

When an egg is fertilized, that is called pregnancy. A sperm can swim and it can live for a little while outside the body. Pregnancy may occur if any sperm gets into your vagina. Keep an eye on strange symptoms such as missed periods or feeling sick (nausea). If you’re concerned, take a pregnancy test to put your mind at ease.

I have a 12 week pregnancy and my baby head size is 2 cm showing on tha scan is it normal

Female | 20

At 12 weeks, the 2 cm head size of the baby displayed in the scans is normal. This is nothing but a predictable growth pattern. The baby's brain will continue to grow to the same body proportions during the pregnancy. An infant's cranial size at this stage is crucial in the development of the brain, thus this is an important parameter to control.
