I had unprotected sex 40 days ago. I had my menstrual period three days before having unprotected sex and it lasted for 3 days. A week ago, I took Meprate, and I experienced severe cramps with dark blood clots, but the bleeding is not heavy. My home pregnancy test came back negative. Could I still be pregnant?

Since you had unprotected sex 40 days ago and your home pregnancy test is negative, pregnancy is unlikely, especially after getting bleeding with clots after taking Meprate. Meprate induces withdrawal bleeding, which confirms you are not pregnant in most cases. The dark clots and cramps are common with hormone induced periods and will settle in a few days. If heavy bleeding or severe pain continues, consult your doctor. For reassurance, you can book a Serum Beta hCG test to confirm pregnancy status accurately.

My pregnancy test was positive when done yesterday, but today I had some sudden bleeding at the office. It did not continue, and right now there is no bleeding. I am very nervous and worried. Kindly suggest what I should do?

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 am taking Meprate 10 mg for 5 days. Today I completed my 4th day of the dose and I am experiencing slight breast pain. I was prescribed Meprate because my period was delayed by 15 days and my pregnancy test was negative. Could you please help me understand if this is normal?
