Get Answers About Your Pregnancy
Just because your period is late doesn’t necessarily mean you’re pregnant. There may be a change in your monthly menstrual cycle due to stress, a hormonal imbalance, or the medications you’re taking.
According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 20% or more pregnancies end in a natural miscarriage. Even if you have miscarried, it’s still possible to get a positive result on a pregnancy test because your body still has the pregnancy hormones.
Following a pregnancy test, an ultrasound is essential to determine potential pregnancy complications like miscarriage or others.
