I tested the first 20 weeks of my pregnancy (age 15; very irregular periods and scoliosis-spinal fusion) I always got a negative. When I was about 19 1/2 weeks I finally got a positive and was having signs of pregnancy. We thought I was about 8-12 weeks when I took that positive test and I measured at 20 almost 21 weeks at the doctors office.. I have had 2 miscarriages and found out I have PCOS. I have taken a lot of advice and am on my journey to find out if I ovulate at all. At 15 (while pregnant, didn't know yet) I was told because of my scoliosis I would have difficulties getting pregnant/having children. The info in your videos has helped a lot with breaking things down so I know how the processes of my body works.

I loved this video Doctor. The next video I would like to expect from you would be: what are the first steps need to do when the test comes positive. And the process. (Step by step). (prenatal checkups) & what would doctor suggest to do.

Thank you Doctor.

At home pregnancy test have never worked for me. I have always had to get my blood tested to confirm any of my pregnancies.

I was 3 months pregnant and for some reason any test I did came back negative it was only confirmed from blood work. I’m not sure why the tests don’t work for me anymore I’ve never had a problem in the past.

Hello my Kaiser dr's nurse says you should do a home pregnancy test once you miss the periods and you should wait 7 days from the first day of your missed period to test at home.
