I missed my period and underwent a beta hCG test, which came back positive with a result of 161. After 2 days, I repeated the test, and the level decreased to 96. Does this mean I am having a miscarriage? If yes, will it happen naturally, or do I need to take any medication for it? Please help.

A fall in Beta hCG from 161 to 96 in 2 days suggests a failing pregnancy or early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy). Most early miscarriages complete naturally without needing medication. You may experience bleeding similar to your period within a few days. Monitor for heavy bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads/hour), severe pain, or fever. Seek immediate care if these occur. You can book a repeat Beta hCG after 7 days to confirm that levels return to negative, indicating complete miscarriage.

View allI am currently in my third month of pregnancy. I have attached my recent report, and I noticed that two values have been marked as above the normal range. My doctor mentioned that due to these results, I need to take an injection once a week for now. They will check again next month, and if necessary, the injections might need to be given daily.

Hi Doctor, I think I have missed my period this month. I have tried two home pregnancy tests, taken 10 to 15 days after intercourse, but both results were negative. I still have not got my period, and I am very worried. I am not ready for pregnancy right now. Is there any chance that I might be pregnant despite the negative tests? If yes, what should I do? I cannot let my family know and need confirmation. If I am pregnant, I need a solution because I do not want to continue it now. Please help?
