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 feeling a bit anxious after taking the MTP pill because my scan showed there are small retained products of conception. What should I do next?

One more dose of mesprostl can be given if not vaccum aspiration or D&C could be tried.

Q: I'm a bit concerned because it's the 43rd day and I still haven't gotten my period. On the 40th day, I noticed some discomfort in my lower abdomen, and now there's this thick white milky discharge. Could these be signs of early pregnancy, or is it something else? I'm not sure what to make of this.

White dischrge in pregnancy is common Just make sure it s not associated with itching and foul smelling bcz tht goes in favour of infection Keep the private parts clean Avoid moisture If dischrge is more use panty liners

Q: I'm a bit worried because my boyfriend and I were having dry sex, and he ejaculated in his pants while he still had his underwear on. I noticed my shorts felt wet too, maybe from the semen. Should I be concerned about the chance of getting pregnant? And should I consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill? If I do, what might that do to my menstrual cycle or what side effects could it have?

if you are in 10th day to 20th day of your menstrual cycle , take ipill.

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.
