Can I use the Unwanted Kit again after just 3 weeks since I used the first one? My urine test is still coming up positive, and I'm a bit worried about what to do next. Looking for some advice.

I'm a bit worried about the beta hCG levels during pregnancy. What should the levels be in a normal pregnancy compared to an ectopic pregnancy? Also, can beta hCG be detected in urine if someone has an ectopic pregnancy around 8 weeks?

In a normal pregnancy, beta hCG levels typically double every 48 hours, with average levels ranging from 50-300 mIUmL at 4-5 weeks, 1000-5000 mIUmL at 6-7 weeks, and 10,000-100,000 mIUmL at 8-12 weeks. In contrast, ectopic pregnancies often have lower and more slowly rising beta hCG levels, typically below 3000 mIUmL. As for detecting beta hCG in urine at 8 weeks of ectopic pregnancy, it's unlikely, as urine tests are generally less sensitive than blood tests, and ectopic pregnancies often have lower beta hCG levels.

I recently had an HSG test done before my period, and the results showed that my tubes are blocked. However, some gynecologists told me that this report might not be valid because the test should be done after my period. Could you help me understand when's the right time to have an HSG test and if my results can be trusted?

I'm 24 years old and married. On Saturday morning, I noticed a small pimple on my breast, and when I pressed it to remove the pus, I noticed some white and clear stuff leaking out. When I checked the other breast, it was also leaking when pressed. I've also been dealing with a cold and cough for about a month, and I've been massaging my body with oil daily from my neck to my stomach. Could this leaking be related to me touching or massaging my breasts daily? What's going on?
