Is a beta hCG test a confirmatory method to detect pregnancy after 17 days of intercourse? If the result is negative, can I relax, or is any further testing required to confirm?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Beta HCG blood test is the most accurate test to detect pregnancy. After 17 days of unprotected intercourse, a negative Beta HCG means youre likely not pregnant. No other test is usually needed after this. You can relax and stop worrying. If periods remain missed, repeat the test after 2 to 3 days for reassurance.

View allMam and sir my friend took beta hcg blood test two times. First on 27th October the next day after missed periods it was negative. Then she again took beta hcg blood test on 30th October that was positive. Now my question is what can be the reason for the false hcg result before? So from this above incident I am forced to ask you when to take beta hcg test after missed periods or after 2 weeks of intercourse which is more accurate and more reliable? In the above case if he would have considered that she is not pregnant then the scenario can be the worst. So please reply when is the best time to take beta hcg after 15 days of sex or after missed period?

In my previous beta hcg test, my hcg level was 212. My abortion procedure is complete. After 15 days, I repeated the beta hcg test and now my hcg level is 8.25. I want to know whether I am pregnant or not? I have attached my report.

My last period was on July 25. I consulted a gynecologist on August 9, and a pregnancy test that morning was negative. Thyroid and hormone tests were normal. The doctor prescribed Gynaset for 5 days, which I completed. On September 16, I tested for pregnancy again, and the result was positive. Can this result be considered accurate? What should I do next?
