I check pregnancy test 3 times and positve… is it means i’m pregnant? and how to know weeks of pregnant and should i seek for doctor

Hi there. Thank you for the question. As to answer your question, yes it is a high possibility that you are pregnant. There are 2 ways you can find out how many weeks are you into pregnancy. The first method is to calculate the last menstrual period (LMP) or also known as Naegele's formula.

It is calculated from the first day of the mother’s last menstrual period and this method can only be used if you have a regular menstrual cycle. This method allows the doctor to have an estimated date of delivery as well as weeks of the pregnancy. You can check your LMP by adding seven days to the date of the first day of the LMP then subtract 3 months and add one year.

This will be the estimated day of delivery. As for the second method, you can visit a gynecologist and do an ultrasound. An ultrasound is a high-frequency sound waves that can portray the image of the developing baby as well as the mother’s reproductive organs.

Ultrasound can be done to confirm pregnancy, check the fetal heartbeat, determine the gestational age of the baby and estimate a due date, check for multiple pregnancies, examine the placenta, uterus, ovaries, and cervix, diagnose an ectopic pregnancy (when the fetus does not attach to the uterus) or miscarriage and look for any abnormal growth in the fetus. Hence it is advisable to consult a obstetrician soon.
