Hello Doctor,

Thank you for the question and thank you for visiting our site.
Given that you are undergoing fertility treatment, the chance of pregnancy is markedly increased. I usually will tell patients that a pregnancy test will confidently indicate when you are pregnant about two weeks after conception. It sounds like this might represent a positive test, but you need to repeat the test when it has been at least two weeks. If it is still unclear OR if it is positive, then you need to contact your OB Provider for a blood test and for scheduling of an ultrasound.
I hope that this helps and good luck!

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
Firstly, your pain can be due to some kind of intestinal upset, or uterine cramping.
Tab MEFTAL SPAS as needed will be of help.
Secondly, please wait till 14 days after IUI or till you reach your expected date of period and repeat test on morning's first sample of urine. Your present report is not negative, but can be called as weak positive.
Please start on Folic acid and B12 supplements.
May God bless you with Bundle of Joy.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
