Can beta hcg test be done before missed periods to check whether I am pregnant or not. I have been having a sharp dull but bearable pain for the last four days so I did a beta hcg test three days before my missed periods. The result of beta hcg was 0.1. I had sex on the 23rd and 24th using the interrupted method. I am unmarried and worried so I did the beta hcg test. Is there still a chance of pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy?

Beta hCG is most reliable after the missed period. A value of 0.1 generally indicates no pregnancy. If your period is delayed, repeat the test after 3 to 5 days for confirmation.

I am currently taking Glycomet 500 mg in the morning and evening. My blood sugar readings are around 150 (fasting) and 190 to 200 (post meal). I underwent an IUI procedure 22 days ago and am now waiting to find out if I am pregnant. I am concerned about whether these sugar levels could affect the baby if the result is positive. Could you please advise me on what precautions I should take at this stage?
