I recently found out that my periods are delayed by about 8 days, so I ended up taking a beta hCG test. The results showed a really low beta hCG level, and it indicates less than 4 weeks of pregnancy with a value of 242.9 mIUml. I'm concernedis having a low hCG level at this point something that could lead to a miscarriage? I'm not sure what to think and would love to know if this is something I should be worried about.

I'm wondering if inserting two fingers into my vagina means that my hymen is broken. Does the easier insertion indicate anything specific about the state of my hymen? I'm kind of concerned and would love some insights.

Normally you can't insert a single finger also so yes it can break the hymen

Ive been told to take gynaset twice a day for five days to trigger my period. If I stop taking it, will I get my period right away? Im planning to travel on the 18th and started the medication on the 5th. Will my period be finished by the time I need to leave, or should I keep taking the gynaset until my trip is over to push back the period? Could use some advice!

Periods are expected to start 2-7 days after stopping these tablets. In order to be sure to avoid periods during travel, you can take the tablets till the day of travel or until the day you complete your travel.
