Detailed Answer:
Hi there
I welcome you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

If you have history of regular cycle, then I will suggest you to get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.
You can get it done from any pathology laboratory or get it done with home pregnancy test kit available in the chemist shop

In case of any doubt, you can get USG or blood beta HCG levels done, to confirm or rule out pregnancy.

I hope this answer helps you.
please feel free to communicate with me again.
Thanks.
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
