I am 38 years old and trying for my second baby. I usually ovulate late, and my gynecologist prescribed Duphaston and Ecosprin after ovulation. I have missed my period and tested on the 3rd day after my due date, but the result was negative. From the 5th day onward, I have been experiencing spotting and passing dark brown clots daily. Could I still be pregnant, and should I take another pregnancy test?

Late periods and spotting after negative test could be due to delayed implantation or hormonal changes. You can repeat test after 2 to 3 days for clarity. If still negative, check hormone balance.

I had a positive home pregnancy test. I got an HCG beta test on 16th July, which showed a value of 1300, and it was repeated on 19th July, showing 1933. Then I had a TVS scan done, and a very small gestational sac was present. I have been taking progesterone as advised. The doctor asked me to come after 8 days and is giving HCG 5000 IUI injection once a week. What are the chances of a healthy pregnancy? I am really worried. Please help. I have attached all the reports.

Hello Sir, my wife underwent embryo transfer on 17 nov. Today is the 8th day post transfer. This morning I took a beta HCG blood test and the value is 14.11. Is this value positive for pregnancy?
