I had my beta hcg test before 10 days the result was 0.5 and today it was 3.1. Both tests were taken at the same laboratory. My LMP was 19.8.10 which was 44 days ago. Why did my hcg increase? I took meprate a week ago and got my periods yesterday but with less bleeding and clots. Am I pregnant?

A Beta HCG of 0.5 to 3.1 is still too low to confirm pregnancy, but a small increase could happen due to early hormonal changes or minor lab variation. Since you took Meprate and got bleeding with clots, it may be withdrawal bleeding. However, if the bleeding was unusually light, its worth repeating the Beta HCG test in 48 to 72 hours. If the value doubles, it could suggest early pregnancy. If it stays low, pregnancy is unlikely.

View allHi, I got a positive pregnancy test, which I also confirmed with an HCG blood test. In that test, my values were 779 and 1387, taken a day apart. I am having red brown discharge with light cramps. When I went to the doctor, she suggested a hormone injection and Miprogen tablet for two weeks. Will this situation settle or is there any risk of complication? Please suggest.

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 had unprotected sex 40 days ago. I had my menstrual period three days before having unprotected sex and it lasted for 3 days. A week ago, I took Meprate, and I experienced severe cramps with dark blood clots, but the bleeding is not heavy. My home pregnancy test came back negative. Could I still be pregnant?
