How To Confirm Pregnancy Without Medical Exam?

I ve gotten very mixed results as to whether or not I could be pregnant. I haven t been sexually active since before my last period, but a pregnancy test still comes back as positive. How can I tell one way or the other without having to go for a complete medical exam?

Hello dear
I understand you concern
Absence of the period is the most common symptoms of the pregnancy.
Other variable symptoms of breast soreness, darkening and enlargement of areola, increased discharge, tiredness, nausea, dizziness.

Pregnancy test will give positive result 8-10 days after the missed period.
So hope you have did test once your period was missed by 8 days.
You can also go for blood HCG test.
Blood HCG test is more accurate and give positive result even 10 days after the sexual intercourse.
So you can go for blood HCG test to confirm the pregnancy without medical examination.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you

Contact further if follow up needed.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
