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 allMy wife is facing some breathing issues since last one month. She is not able to complete her breath or feels short of breath and sometimes she has excessive yawning but cannot complete her yawn. In between for one week she was fine but again the same problem started. She also missed her period last month. Six months back she had a medical abortion. Today she had a blood test but her blood sample seemed to be a little dark in colour instead of bright red. We are waiting for the blood report. Kindly advise what could be the reason for this?

I have a cyst on my left ovary and missed my period. I am taking novelon tablet for 10 days. If pregnancy is detected in a test card while having novelon tablet what does it mean?

My girlfriend and I had intercourse on 27th July and 10th August. Her last period started on 21st July, and her periods are usually regular. This time, she has not gotten her period. She took pregnancy tests on 24th, 26th, 27th, and 28th August, and all were negative. One doctor advised taking Meprate tablets, but I am still confused. Could she be pregnant, and is it safe to take Meprate in this situation? What should we do next?
