Brief Answer: Please, do a rapid pregnancy test. Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query. To begin with, you must have had an unprotected sexual encounter recently to suspect that you could be pregnant. Assuming this, the single and most effective way to say whether you are pregnant or not is to do a rapid urine pregnancy test. This is because the symptoms of pregnancy are not only seen in pregnant women. They are present in a lot of different conditions as well. Please, what is the date of your last normal menstrual period? Peeing every hour with this slight pain may also raise the suspicion of a possible urinary tract infection. Especially, if the urine is in small volumes than usual. Has there been in change in the amount of water you drink recently? If the test should be negative with a persistence of these symptoms, then you would need a proper investigation. Peeing a lot, easily hungry can represent any different diseases including diabetes, urinary tract infection, weather related, etc. Without a more detailed questioning and maybe investigation, it could be difficult establishing the exact cause. In all, please provide me with the following information. 1. Date of last normal periods and the date of the last periods considered abnormal. 2. Any change in urine volume or pains during urination? 3. The result of a rapid home pregnancy test. With these answers, I will determine what the next step would be. I hope you find the above input helpful. I wish you well. Please, feel free to ask for more information or clarifications if need be. Thanks. Dr. Ditah, MD.

Brief Answer: With a Negative test, I will suggest waiting! Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for following up with me. Thank you so much for providing this information. 1. Though you have reported an abnormal menses, it is not too out of the norm. There are always some small changes like what you noted which are not in anyway related to pregnancy or a disease. 2. A home pregnancy test is normally expected to be positive by the time your next menses were expected. If yours was negative, then I have more reasons to think that you are not pregnant. 3. Because you have reported inconsistent test findings in previous pregnancies(3months before the test becomes positive), I will suggest that you get an ultrasound done. This looks directly at the uterus and tells whether there is any ongoing pregnancy or not. This will be the gold standard and would not allow us with any doubts as to whether you are pregnant or not. In all, I strongly think you are not pregnant. However, I will suggest that you do a pelvic ultrasound to confirm this. I hope this helps. Feel free t ask for more information. I will like to know the outcome so that we can talk on specifics related to this. Dr. Ditah, MD.
