My girlfriend took a pregnancy test and got negative three times after missing her period for 2 weeks. She took Meprate for 3 days and got her period after 2 days with heavy flow for 5 days. Can she still be pregnant? Does Meprate cause periods even if you are pregnant? Please help.

Three negative pregnancy tests after 2 weeks of missed periods strongly suggest she is not pregnant. Meprate (medroxyprogesterone) is usually not effective if someone is pregnant. Getting a 5 day heavy flow after Meprate makes pregnancy highly unlikely. For full confirmation, a Beta HCG blood test can be done.

My friend menstrual cycle is delayed by 1 week. She has had consistent unprotected sex, with the last instance 2 days ago. She recently had a fever for a day and now has a cold and cough. She took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. Could this test be wrong? It is an unwanted pregnancy, what options does she have?

My blood test report shows an hCG level of 10.4, while my urine test result is negative. What does this indicate, and what should I do next? Am I pregnant?

Hello doctors, I had my periods on 18th June. I am on Normoz DS for PCOD. My periods are generally irregular and 10 to 15 days late. I am trying to conceive. I checked for pregnancy at home and the tests were negative on both 23rd and 27th July. Please advise what I should do. I am also having a throat infection and the doctor prescribed Augmentin. Is it safe if I am pregnant? I am very scared regarding my periods as well.
