Delay may be due to stress, hormonal imbalance, or illness. Wait 1 more week, repeat test. If still no period, consult a gynecologist.

My beta HCG chemiluminescence serum test report shows a result of 11.70 mIU/ml. I took the test on the 5th day of my missed period. What does this result indicate?

Hi, I have missed my period for 6 days. When I checked with an HPT, it was positive, and the test line is much darker than the control line. I am having mild pain and a sensation on one side of my abdomen. Is this normal? The pain is very mild, but I am worried if this could be a serious issue?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my first child and have been experiencing continuous mild pain in my lower left abdomen for the past 12 hours. I have not undergone any scan yet, but my blood reports are normal. Is this mild continuous pain normal in early pregnancy, or is it something to be concerned about?
