Check Here: Early Symptoms of Pregnancy and how to test for it!

Hi,
My best friend is in a kind of fix. She was supposed to get her periods on the 11 of this month and missed it. Has take a home pregnancy test using Velocit and Pregcolor cards(Indian brands) some 7 times and ended up having faint pinklines in the Test region.
She is having all her other symptoms of pregnancy but is unsure whether she has to do her Elisa screening or blood test before her 45 th day. She is as old as me that is 24 and I dont have any knowledge about this either. This is just her 36 th day..Pls cud some one help on this

Hi Niveditha

Let me tell you...Now, I am pregnant with 24 weeks. I will share my experience with you. My periods are not that regular. I would expect my periods between 28-35 (once or twice it so happened that it got delayed by 45 days). Does your friend has a perfect cycle?

Secondly, I had done a pregnancy test when I didn't get my periods for about 40 days. I don't remember the brand name but the instructions given in that was easy and clear to follow. It mentioned that the test is negetive when one pink line apears, the test is positive when 2 pink line appears. To my surprise I got 2 very light pink lines for which it had stated that its positive but the colour might differ due to the level of harmones. So, may be your friend has not read the instructions clearly before going for the test. In anyways, I would suggest that let her wait for 3-4 days more and then go for the test. If its still negetive, then she must meet her family doctor.

As a mother of two kids, let me suggest you to wait until 40 days atleast and go to PCP or gyn., If they take the blood test, you will come to know for sure. The docs normally says that it is better to wait until 40 to 45 days becoz, sometimes, the blood test before those periods if you take might go wrong. Better wait and see.

Best of luck to yr friend..

Thanks a lot guys for the quick response.
I will def let her know abt this.

I agree with Ami on this.I did all that your friend did,Niveditha,I did a test on the 35 day and it turned positive.Then I went to the gyneac on the 36 day.She took a urine sample and asked me to come after a month to confirm whether I was pregnant!

So it is better to wait for some more time.

Cheers

Hi,Im Sirisha.Im married for 3.5 months.Last month my period started on 3rd.I have my periods almost very regularly.I didnt have it even till today.And Im feeling exhausted since yesterday.And also a little bit of back pain.i stay In Uk.My mother is a very sensitive person and will get unnecessary panic when I say that I m not feeling well.can u plz help

How long is ur cycle.. Its better to wait for at least 1 week after ur missing period to take pregnancy test. And symptoms vary from person to person.

Dear Sirisha

I had the same symptoms for my 2 pregnancy. My sugesstion is get a Home Pregnancy test kit and test . Gernally if it is pregnancy even if u miss a day u can check nothing wrong .All the very best and keep us post.

Love sumi

Myin laws say that missing a period and exhaustive ness may also be due to lack of blood in the body, when I said I am planning to meet a doctor in this regard.But It never happend to me before marraige.Shall I test using a home pregnancy test, before going to a doctor.Or shall I wait untill my next mensus to be missed out.Today is my 9th day that i missed it

Hi Sirisyam,

Your in-laws are correct, due to anaemia also sometimes it happens, but now it is better to check once at home using the kit before you have an appointment with your doctor..

If it is positive you can go for confirmation with doctor or just to check your blood Hb count etc., All the best...

Regards,
USHA.
