took hcg pregnancy test one day before period due and came out negative. can i trust this result.....

Question

Dx with pcos. Have had a normal period for over a year now, but am now two months late. Experiencing multiple pregnancy symptoms but got negative test result. Is it possible my hCG levels are too low to read bc of pcos?

Answer 1

Too soon: Nope. You wasted the money on the test. It is negative, but because you had not missed a period yet, and if your period does not start you will have to retest. Wait a few days. If the period does not start then retest.

Answer 2

Yes, it's great.: It's best to taper off the zoloft (sertraline) and your doctor has an excellent plan.

Answer 3

Zoloft (sertraline): You did not mention the dose, but if your doctor recommends it, u should be fine. Just inform your doctor of any changes, and congratulations in advance.

Answer 4

No: Tapering off SSRI antidepressants is not done by stretching out the time between doses, it's done by gradually decreasing the daily dose. Taking a Zoloft (sertraline) (of any usual dose, say 50 or 100 mg) every 3 days may lead to a cycle of repeated withdrawals 1-2 days after each dose. (This doesn't apply to Prozac due to its long half-life, but it does to Zoloft (sertraline).) Talk to your doc about taking less daily.

Answer 5

It's OK: There is insufficient evidence of any harmful effect other than a small risk of skin infection.

Answer 6

Acupuncture with: Electrical stimulation is fine while pregnant. The acupuncturist will know the specific points which should not be needled in a pregnant woman. Congratulations.

Answer 7

Check a preg test : Over the counter pregnancy tests are cheap and reliable. Go do one and then you will know and you won't have to worry about it any more. If you don't want to be pregnant see your doctor for effective birth control.

Answer 8

Yes: Many side effects possible. Rash and GI upset and diarrhea are common.

Answer 9

PREGNANCY TERM: As long as you are under the care of your ob, no toxemia, or any other problems anticipated, you are in good hands! good luck !

Answer 10

Hard to say: Since your other health issues are not available for review, limited assessment is possible. Baby is near term, but upwards of 10% will require special care even if born at term. Complications of pregnancy or labor can increase the risk.About 5% of newborns have an unexpected issue at birth (defect, prematurity, illness).Most pregnancies end up in a satisfactory outcome.
