I am married, and my last menstrual period was on May 9. I usually have a regular cycle of 27 to 28 days. We take proper hygiene measures after intercourse. I have not yet had my period this month. I experienced cramps around my expected date, but my period did not arrive. I took a home pregnancy test on the 34th day, which was negative. It has now been 36 days. Should I wait longer, try period inducing foods, or do heavy workouts? Please advise.

A negative test on day 34 is usually accurate, but to be sure, you can do a blood beta hCG test. Cramps and delayed periods can happen due to hormonal changes or stress. Avoid doing heavy workouts or eating period inducing foods until pregnancy is fully ruled out.

In my previous beta hcg test, my hcg level was 212. My abortion procedure is complete. After 15 days, I repeated the beta hcg test and now my hcg level is 8.25. I want to know whether I am pregnant or not? I have attached my report.

Received my report of HCG test where the result says 79.20. What does that mean? Female pregnancy section is blank. Then week of gestation is mentioned. Comment says reference range: Male and non pregnant females.

Hi Doctor, I was married on 22nd July, and my period was due on 10th August. I did a home urine pregnancy test, which showed a positive result. Yesterday, we confirmed with a Beta HCG blood test, which showed a value of 4152 mIU/mL. Does this confirm my pregnancy, and how many weeks pregnant am I likely to be? I have attached the Beta HCG test report for your reference.
