I am 38 years old and trying for my second baby. I usually ovulate late, and my gynecologist prescribed Duphaston and Ecosprin after ovulation. I have missed my period and tested on the 3rd day after my due date, but the result was negative. From the 5th day onward, I have been experiencing spotting and passing dark brown clots daily. Could I still be pregnant, and should I take another pregnancy test?

Late periods and spotting after negative test could be due to delayed implantation or hormonal changes. You can repeat test after 2 to 3 days for clarity. If still negative, check hormone balance.

My blood test report shows an hCG level of 10.4, while my urine test result is negative. What does this indicate, and what should I do next? Am I pregnant?

I had a day 5 frozen embryo transfer (blastocyst) on 4th July. Initially, I experienced period like cramps and pelvic discomfort for 3 to 4 days, but since then I have not had any such symptoms. I am worried about whether I am pregnant. My doctor has asked me to come on 19th July for a Beta HCG test. Can I check a home pregnancy test today to get an idea of whether I am pregnant?

My girlfriend took a pregnancy test and got negative three times after missing her period for 2 weeks. She took Meprate for 3 days and got her period after 2 days with heavy flow for 5 days. Can she still be pregnant? Does Meprate cause periods even if you are pregnant? Please help.
