I'm a bit worried about the beta hCG levels during pregnancy. What should the levels be in a normal pregnancy compared to an ectopic pregnancy? Also, can beta hCG be detected in urine if someone has an ectopic pregnancy around 8 weeks?

In a normal pregnancy, beta hCG levels typically double every 48 hours, with average levels ranging from 50-300 mIUmL at 4-5 weeks, 1000-5000 mIUmL at 6-7 weeks, and 10,000-100,000 mIUmL at 8-12 weeks. In contrast, ectopic pregnancies often have lower and more slowly rising beta hCG levels, typically below 3000 mIUmL. As for detecting beta hCG in urine at 8 weeks of ectopic pregnancy, it's unlikely, as urine tests are generally less sensitive than blood tests, and ectopic pregnancies often have lower beta hCG levels.

I'm really worried because I had a small amount of precum on my hand, and I wiped it off. But then, after a few minutes, I used that finger to touch my girlfriend's vagina. We're both virgins, and I'm not sure if this can make her pregnant. Could she be at risk?

The chance of pregnancy in this situation is extremely low, especially if there was minimal precum and no ejaculation. However, if you both are still concerned or if her period is delayed, you can take a home pregnancy test after about 2 weeks. For future peace of mind, consider using contraception during any sexual activity to reduce the risk of pregnancy and STIs.
