Question 1

i was told last nite i possibly had appendicitis they sent me home all my tests were normal but the pain and nausea are still there what do you recom?

Accepted Answer

Call your MD: I would say that unless something was missed on the cat scan, that you may want to either call the hospital about your concern, call your family doctor, or go back. I would also suggest that you ask to see a surgeon before leaving this time.  Sooner rather than later.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

HIV antibody testing: Please clarify what you are not understanding from our answers. You have been given accurate, timely and free answers to this question.  Hiv antibody testing will be about 95% accurate after three months.

Question 3

is an oraquick at home test negative result accurate after 17-18 years?

Accepted Answer

: Your question is not clear. What do you mean by "accurate after 17-18 years"?
Do you mean after 17-18 years of suspected exposure?

Question 4

protected sex and plan b on the 4th would an at home test give acurate results on the 26th?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result, if done correctly, 3 weeks after sex.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

pot: It will take a while for it to become negative.

Get a quantitative test to see the level coming down.

Question 6

advice please...i got off the pill in march had normal cycle march & april but now i'm a week late with no signs and negative home test. could i be pg?

Accepted Answer

Maybe (not) . . .: Home pregnancy tests are typically very accurate as soon as one misses one's period. If negative yet concerned, repeat the test in another week.

Question 7

i tested positive for covid almost 3 weeks ago using an at home test. all of my symptoms have resolved. i re-tested again today just out of curiosity and it was still positive. how long can ai expect to test positive?

Accepted Answer

: Typically the test will convert to negative in a few weeks. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and fever.

Question 8

late 2 months home test said positive went to the er its negative only for my urine. what could be going on ?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test: Home pregnancy tests are quite reliable and are false positive rarely. I hope you read your test correctly. You can see your doctor in the clinic and repeat a urine pregnancy test or they may offer you blood test for confirming pregnancy.

Question 9

if i was 2 weeks would a home test give me a  false negtive?

Accepted Answer

Can I be pregnant?: If you are two weeks past your normal start time for your period then this could be a false negative and it would be wise to get a blood test. If you are two weeks past your sexual encounter and you are not mentioning anything about your cycle or where you are in your periods then it was too early to do a pregnancy test.

Question 10

i am 11 days late and have a cloudy cm and have taken a home test and it was neg what's that mean?

Accepted Answer

Post-ovulation: Delayed menses with cloudy cervical mucous likely indicates one of three things:
1) a persistent corpus luteum after ovulation
2) no ovulation
3) pregnancy.
If pregnancy has been ruled out, time will usually restore cycles. A blood test for pregnancy and progesterone, and an ultrasound, would be helpful to assess this.
