I've done a beta hcg test because my periods are late, and the result came back as 0.861 mIUmL. I'm confused about whether this is positive or negative, as my doctor mentioned it should be above 5 mIUmL. Why might this low value show up? I'm really stressed about it and could use some help understanding what's going on.

Q: I'm trying to figure out the right time for some tests after my period. How many days should I wait for my blood and urine tests to give accurate results? Also, do you think it's necessary to have a physical examination of the vagina to check for a fungal infection? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

For accurate blood and urine tests, it's ideal to wait at least 5-7 days after your period ends, as hormone levels and other factors can fluctuate during menstruation. Regarding fungal infections, a physical examination of the vagina is often required to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, as visual inspection and sometimes a swab are necessary for confirmation.

Q: Is it harmful to take unwanted 72 two times in a week? I noticed that I start having periods right after taking it. Can you help me understand what's going on?

-Taking Unwanted 72 frequently, like twice a week, can disrupt your hormonal balance and lead to irregular periods. It's meant for emergency use, not regular contraception. If you're using it often, consider switching to a more reliable, long-term method

Q: What are the signs of successful implantation?

Early signs and symptoms include implantation bleeding or cramps, which can occur 5â€“6 days after the sperm fertilizes the egg. Other early symptoms include breast tenderness and mood changes.

These are Hormonal Fluctuations so the result is negative for pregnancy. Typically: Non-pregnant levels: < 5 mIUmL. Positive for pregnancy: 5 mIUmL. Low beta hCG can sometimes appear in women of reproductive age, but it doesnt indicate pregnancy.
