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

I missed my period and underwent a beta hCG test, which came back positive with a result of 161. After 2 days, I repeated the test, and the level decreased to 96. Does this mean I am having a miscarriage? If yes, will it happen naturally, or do I need to take any medication for it? Please help.

Hello doctors, I had my periods on 18th June. I am on Normoz DS for PCOD. My periods are generally irregular and 10 to 15 days late. I am trying to conceive. I checked for pregnancy at home and the tests were negative on both 23rd and 27th July. Please advise what I should do. I am also having a throat infection and the doctor prescribed Augmentin. Is it safe if I am pregnant? I am very scared regarding my periods as well.

I took a test 10 days after transferring two 5AA frozen blastocysts. Is there any chance of detecting on the 14th day beta hcg? HCG is scheduled on 1st December.
