Is it necessary for the value of two beta hCG tests to increase in order to confirm a pregnancy? If both values are the same, what does it indicate? The tests were done 48 hours apart.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, in a healthy pregnancy, beta hCG levels should double every 48 hours in early weeks. If both values are the same in 2 days, it may indicate a non viable or ectopic pregnancy. You should repeat beta hCG after another 2 days and also get a Pelvic Ultrasound to evaluate pregnancy location and progression.

View allI missed my date before last month it was on 14th of September and I took a urine test at home for pregnancy. There was a weak pink line but on 28th September I had brown spotting and my period started on 30th September. Again my date was on 29th of October but I noticed a very small brown spotting on 21st of October. Then I immediately visited a gynecologist on 23rd October and she put me on the following drugs fol xt, ecosprin 75, and duphaston 10 mg and asked me to come two days after I missed my period. I visited her again on 1st of November because I missed my date on 29th of October. She wrote a urine pregnancy test in which I got a positive report and I told her about my lower abdomen and lower back pain on even slightest strain or standing. Then she put me on the following drugs fol xt, ecosprin 75, duphaston 10 mg, susten sr 300 mg and also gave a progesterone 200 mg injection. She told me to use the above medicines for 20 days and to be completely in rest for these 20 days. Now what is my exact situation?

I had sex with my boyfriend last month. I want my periods to come by the 1st of every month. My period is delayed by three days, and I took a pregnancy test, which was positive. When should I take an unwanted pregnancy kit, and how much bleeding should I expect after abortion?
