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.
