Dear Doctor, my period is 12 days late, and I have taken a pregnancy test which is negative. Please help me understand what could be the reason and what I should do.

12 day delayed period with negative test may be due to stress or hormonal imbalance. Repeat test after 3 days if no period.

Mam or sir, is it true that beta hcg test has no connection with when you had sex? Will the test give an accurate result only after a missed period?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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 Apollo Doctors

I am currently in my third month of pregnancy. I have attached my recent report, and I noticed that two values have been marked as above the normal range. My doctor mentioned that due to these results, I need to take an injection once a week for now. They will check again next month, and if necessary, the injections might need to be given daily.
