I'm not sure...: I'm not sure what monitor You are referring to, but if your pregnancy test was positive x3, than you should see your Ob/Gyn, have a blood test and a Sonogram done if if these confirm pregnancy you have to make a decision about the future of it!! Good Luck!

How do I know if im pregnant?

Home pregnancy test: A home pregnancy test can reliably tell you whether you are pregnant or not; the test looks for beta-hcg in your urine. B-hcg is only secreted by a fertilized egg or a placenta.

I've been feeling sick and someone said my symptoms sound like im pregnant, how can I be for sure without a test?

Can't, unless no sex: If you've not had genital intercourse (sex) for the past 3-4 months, then it is unlikely that you are pregnant. Get a test and pee on the strip. If pregnant see ob/gyn; if not see md (maybe ob/gyn) to see if hormonal issues etc.

It depends: In early pregnancy, <12 weeks you are limited to saline washes, benedryl and tylenol (acetaminophen). After that you can take decongestants, cough medicines and tylenol (acetaminophen). Avoid meds with motrin, Ibuprofen or aspirin.

Pregnancy Test: If you have missed your period, you may want to take an at home pregnancy test that you can get a drug store. If it is positive, see your dr. However, those tests are not always accurate. Your dr can do a blood test, which is very accurate.

Im pregnant can I take theraflu?

Better options: Theraflu contains a variety of pharmaceuticals like acetominophen, antihistamines, cough suppressants & decongestants that may reduce symptoms but do nothing to actually help you heal.These can have unpleasant side effects. It also has artificial colors/sweeteners/flavors & preservatives. I would not take it during the first trimester, but most docs feel it is ok later in pregnancy. See my comments.

I would advise taking natural remedies proven to help you heal more quickly without side effects and possible hazards to your baby. Sambucol is proven to help flu-see http://www.blackelderberry.info/clinical-summary/. Homeopathy is also safe & effective in pregnancy. Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic med proven to reduce symptoms & speed recovery from the flu and is totally safe during pregnancy.
