<s>[INST] gud afternun doctor, iam having pcod problem usually get my periods around 30 to 32 days . it has been 7 yrs since we got married , this month i missed my periods usually i will have more pain and even that i din have its 40th day on 37 day i did a pregnancy test at home it was negative. my bowel movements are more than 3 or 4 tmes a day will it be a sign of pregnancy when should i exactly test my pregnancy [/INST] Hi,   Thanks for the query.    I understand your concern.    Excessive bowel movements are not known sign of pregnancy.    Confirmatory tests for pregnancy are-Blood or urine HCG testing / USG scan of pelvis at 5 weeks of pregnancy.    -The home pregnancy test is best done after 8 days delay in expected date of menses.   Thanks. </s>
