Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I had an IUI on October 21st, and my period is now 6 days late. I've been feeling nauseous, dizzy, and having headaches, but all my pregnancy tests have been negative. Could I still be pregnant, or is there another reason for my symptoms?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Yes, it is possible that you could still be pregnant despite the negative home pregnancy tests. I recommend getting a beta hCG blood test to check your hormone levels accurately, as urine tests may not always detect early pregnancy. Additionally, a pelvic ultrasound scan is important to rule out any possibilities of an ectopic pregnancy, especially since you are experiencing dizziness and nausea. If your period remains absent or symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

 

Thanks
