Hello doctor,I have missed my period by one month and 18 days. I have done Prega news test. There is one dark line and one is light (faint). I am not able to guess whether I am pregnant or not. My last period was just a day after having sex. Please advise me how to avoid pregnancy right now. What medicines should I take and is that available online?
Hello. I have reviewed your health query and can well understand that you are worried about chances of pregnancy. You have missed your periods and there are many causes for that. One of them is pregnancy. You have done Prega News test at home and got two lines of different intensity colors (one is dark and one light colored). This means either the test is not performed correctly or the strip may be damaged, expired or you may be under the influence of some medications (see the leaflet information given with the test strip for medications that can interfere with your test strip and can give a false result). In such a case, the best next step is to either wait for about four to five days and repeat the test or go immediately to a hospital for a proper pregnancy test and ultrasound evaluation of the uterus. This makes everything clear. In case you are pregnant (that is not sure at this point in time) you need to consult your gynecologist for discussing if you need the baby or not. The management of the case depends on your choice. If you do not need the baby, your gynecologist can best guide you how to proceed. The medications in most of the countries are not available over the counter. You need a proper prescription for the medications to abort the baby. Even if you are able to get the medications over the counter, I would say not to take it without the consent of a doctor as it may cause excessive bleeding and/or a lot more complications in your reproductive life. Sometimes, the situation leads to life-threatening complications. You need a proper cover of a gynecologist for the management of the case. Hope it helps. Please feel free to ask more if you have doubts or need further assistance. For more information consult a general medicine physician online -->
