At 4 to 5 weeks of pregnancy, both UPT (urine test) and Beta HCG (blood test) can detect pregnancy. Beta HCG is more sensitive and accurate, especially if periods are irregular or UPT shows faint lines. UPT is useful for quick home checks, but blood test confirms and tracks pregnancy progress. At 5 weeks, HCG greater than 1,000 mIU/mL is typical.

I have attached the HSG test report of my wife. It shows bilateral mid tubal block. Can someone please tell me if it is curable? Can we become parents naturally and how can we treat this?

I am 30 years old and have a 9 year old son via C section. I am planning for a second baby. My last period was on February 7, and I have not gotten my period since. I have taken multiple pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. However, I am experiencing bloating, dizziness, food cravings, strong smells, and occasional nausea. I feel like I might be pregnant. How can I confirm whether I am pregnant? Please advise

I had a D and C on 10th August and got my period on 10th Sept. Today I took a pregnancy test, and it came out positive. Since I conceived just one month after my D and C, am I at an increased risk of miscarriage again?
