Am I pregnant or is it all in my head? What should I do since I have hormone issues?



    
Asked by kolafrank (Female; 22; YES; Hormone irregularities; Relevant drugs:Herbs such as Maca, echinacea, zinc,Anioxidant Formula with minerals, Milk Thistle. Detoxifiers such as AcaiPure and Colotox and just stopped taking Evening Primerose Oil and Super B-Complex with Vitamin C and Folic Acid because I heard it could interfere with HPT's. I took Vitex for about four weeks but discontinued due to bad headaches and an extremely heavy two week period. ) on Fri 24, Apr 2009 02:33pm

Answer by Dr Bhupinder K, MD (doctor) on Tue 12, May 2009 07:07am:

Hello, First of the urine for pregnancy test should be ideally done after 7-10 days of your missed periods date. So if your last menstrual period was on march 12th so it should have been done around 19th.Moreover the best confirmatory test for pregnancy is by ultrasonography(transvaginal or perabdominal). I would suggest that you get an ultrasound done. It will confirm the status of pregnancy as well as point out any other pathology if there is any. I personally feel that the symptoms that you are having are more due to irregular periods. There are many causes of irregular periods, but the one that is important in your case is polycystic ovarian disease (PCOS). The whiskers that you are having on your chin is basically due to hirsutism which is a common feature in PCOS.It also causes irregular menses and difficulty in conceiving. So I would suggest that you consult a gynecologist and get tests like 2 hr GTT, serum androgen and testosterone levels,LH-FSH ratio,prolactin levels,TSH levels,17-hydroxyprogesterone levels and 3D ultrasound done. I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
