Yes, to an extent they can hint if a male partner has testicular cancer as males too release the hCG hormone during tumors and cancers of the testes. However, this is not a final diagnosis. Consult a doctor if you have tested positive in a home pregnancy test.

Take a ABPA SCREEN (TOTAL IGE, SPECIFIC IGE AF) Test or Take a Rheumatoid Factor (RA) -(Latex Agglutination) Test

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?
