I missed my period and underwent a beta hCG test, which came back positive with a result of 161. After 2 days, I repeated the test, and the level decreased to 96. Does this mean I am having a miscarriage? If yes, will it happen naturally, or do I need to take any medication for it? Please help.

A fall in Beta hCG from 161 to 96 in 2 days suggests a failing pregnancy or early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy). Most early miscarriages complete naturally without needing medication. You may experience bleeding similar to your period within a few days. Monitor for heavy bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads/hour), severe pain, or fever. Seek immediate care if these occur. You can book a repeat Beta hCG after 7 days to confirm that levels return to negative, indicating complete miscarriage.

My last period started on 26th July, and my cycles are irregular. I had unprotected intercourse on 15th August. For the past month, I have been feeling tired, dizzy throughout the day, and sometimes nauseous. I took a pregnancy test today, and it was negative. Could there still be a chance of pregnancy, or might these symptoms be due to something else?

I did a pregnancy test, and it was positive. However, after one week, I started bleeding, which has lasted for 2 days. Does this mean I am still pregnant or not? Please advise.
