Doctor, in my double marker test report, my beta hCG level is 11 ng/mL. I showed the report to my personal doctor, and he said everything is normal, explaining that there is a difference between beta hCG and total hCG levels. However, I am still worried about my beta hCG count. Could you please clarify if this level is normal and if I should be concerned?

Double marker uses free beta hCG (not total). Value interpretation depends on gestational age and NT scan. If doctor says normal, no action needed.

Pregnancy 20 weeks complete and ultrasound 3D report shows low amniotic fluid. The triple test report shows NTD positive but in ultrasound everything is normal such as spine and head. At present I am undergoing 5 days drip of amino acid and RL. Kindly let me know if there is any other solution for the same besides drip and tablets with LRzim solution?
