Question 1

Madam/sir I missed my periods on 26th October. I took a test on 27th October beta hcg blood test that was negative and after 3 days I again took a test on 30th October that was positive 27.01. My question is I read online that one time beta hcg test is enough to detect pregnancy after missed periods. Why in my case it took 4 more days after missed periods? I got really worried?

Question 2

Hello doctor, I had spotting, thread-like, once a day on 7, 8, and 9 DPO, then it stopped. Again, from 13 DPO, I am having brown discharge. Today, on 15 DPO, I am having a little more discharge. I am also suffering from mild to moderate back pain since 4 DPO and today I had light cramps on and off. My period is late by 4 days. I took a pregnancy test at 12 DPO but it was negative. What may be the reason for these symptoms and on and off spotting?

Question 3

Is a beta hCG test a confirmatory method to detect pregnancy after 17 days of intercourse? If the result is negative, can I relax, or is any further testing required to confirm?

I have irregular periods and I am trying to conceive. I have attached my hormone test report along with my follicular study. My left ovary egg ruptured on 11/08 and my last period was on 29/07. What is the possibility of getting a positive pregnancy result? Is there any major issue in my reports?

Ovulation and timing seem favorable. If no period by expected date, take a Serum ? hCG test on day 14 after ovulation. Also continue tracking cycles.
