Can hcg show positive on a pregnancy test strip while la m towards my menses??

Female | 24

Yes definitely it is possible for a pregnancy test to show a positive result while you are approaching your menstrual period. Pregnancy tests detect the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, which is typically produced during pregnancy. You can confirm it with another test or urine pregnancy test.

O negative blood group with pregnancy problems

Female | 28

Having blood type O negative when pregnant can lead to some complications. If a person with this blood type gets pregnant, the mother's body may produce antibodies that can attack the baby's red blood cells. The baby may have symptoms like jaundice or anemia. Doctors can give a medication called Rh immunoglobulin to the mother during pregnancy to prevent this.

I am a 24 year old female with no known health defects that I know of. Occasionally I suffer from a severe lower stomach cramp followed by severe constipation, followed by severe nausea (with throw up). One of these episodes lead me to faint. This normally happens when I'm on my period, and sometimes they don't. I am roughly 165 LBS and I'm 5'3. My diet isn't the best but it's not too shitty.

Female | 24

You look like you might be afflicted with a serious case of menstrual cycle cramps that can, in some cases, lead to constipation and nausea. Stress, as well as physical pain, can lead to a fainting spell. This pain, as well as stress, can't be relieved by following these symptoms. The symptoms can be reduced by keeping your body hydrated, eating food high in fiber, and using pain relievers similar to ibuprofen. What you want to do on your end is to get a proper consultation with the gynecologist to learn about alternative reasons and treatments.

My daughter is 12 month old i am giving her breast feeding but she is hurting my nipple very bedly can I stop giving her breast milk I stopped one side breast milk

Female | 28

If you've decided to stop breastfeeding from one side, then it's best to gradually decrease breastfeeding sessions to prevent breast engorgement and discomfort. Ultimately, the decision to continue or stop breastfeeding is a personal one. It's essential to prioritize both your comfort and your daughter's nutritional needs while considering your own situation and preferences.
