I missed my period on 24th October. My pregnancy test was positive. After 3 days I started bleeding. Now the bleeding has slowed down and I tested beta hcg blood. The report is 5.2 mul. What does it mean? Am I still pregnant or did I lose it?

A Beta HCG of 5.2 mIU/mL is not enough to confirm ongoing pregnancy. Combined with bleeding, this likely indicates a very early miscarriage or chemical pregnancy. Pregnancy tests may remain positive for a few days after loss.

Hello, recently we got to know that my wife is pregnant and we went to a gynaecologist recommended by my close friends. The doctor told us to do a few blood tests for pregnancy confirmation. After the results of the report, we got to know that she is 100 percent pregnant. Also, she is found with a little bit high blood pressure. She suggested folic acid capsules, sachets of AGS 90 for BP control, and progesterone. So we asked why she suggested progesterone drug in early pregnancy but the answer was not satisfactory, and we have read many myths about progesterone. Now we are confused whether it is safe to take progesterone? And why did she recommend this drug to my wife?

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?
