instruction: hello doctor I have history of thyearoid and cos I am taking 50mg of eltroxin my period is delayed by days when I tested preganacy test after days of period days two lines are showing but not clearly please suggest me can I go to doctor for a checkup or wait for week for clear result or what type of precaution I should take during pregnancy
output: hello welcome to icliniq I see than you have not mentioned the date of your last menstrual period ideally if you have had a regular 28days cycles the urine pregnancy test is usually positive by the time you skip your periods delayed ovulation can be common in cos so I would suggest you to recheck your home pregnancy test with an early morning urine sample tomorrow and exactly at the time interval at which the result has to be read as mentioned on the kit sometimes if seen very late the evaporation line also may seem as faintly positive which is actually a false positive early morning urine sample is supposed to be having concentrated levels of the beta hug hormone which is detected on the pregnancy kit so recheck again tomorrow with a morning sample of urine if you donot have any pain or spotting you can visit your gynaecologist at ease may be in a week and get an ultrasound done for pregnancy viability and localization meanwhile continue taking folic acid eltroxin medications recheck your thyearoid levels as during the pregnancy the dose may have to be changed due to increased requirements in pregnancy hope this helps please feel free to revert back anytime for any further queries or information continue tablet folic acid 5mg daily once till 14weeks continue tablet eltroxin 50mcg daily once avoid sexual intercourse in the first months of pregnancy
