I missed my period on 24th October. My pregnancy test was positive. After 3 days I started bleeding. Now the bleeding has slowed down and I tested beta hcg blood. The report is 5.2 mul. What does it mean? Am I still pregnant or did I lose it?

A Beta HCG of 5.2 mIU/mL is not enough to confirm ongoing pregnancy. Combined with bleeding, this likely indicates a very early miscarriage or chemical pregnancy. Pregnancy tests may remain positive for a few days after loss.
