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.

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.

If a pregnancy test shows one dark line and one light line, does it indicate pregnancy? I checked with a home pregnancy kit yesterday and again after few days and both times showed this result. My last menstrual period was on 1st June, and my cycles are usually on time. My period has not yet arrived this month. What should I do, and how many more days should I wait before testing again?

I have a problem conceiving because my follicle does not rupture and forms a cyst even after taking Hucog. I consulted a very experienced gynecologist and told her my problem. She scanned me, checked all reports, and said there is no issue for conceiving. She asked me to let her see for one cycle. In this cycle, on the second day she prescribed two Letrozole tablets daily for five days and asked me to come for follow up from the tenth day. On day thirteen, the left follicle size was 22 mm. She gave me Matrena 10k injection and asked me to come on day seventeen. On day seventeen, she wrote in my file that the left follicle is 30 mm and the right is 20 mm, endometrium 8.8 mm, and gave me Meprate 10 from day eighteen for seven days. She said to come if my menstrual cycle starts on day two or three of the cycle, or even if I missed my period, to visit in 2 to 3 days. I want to know whether Meprate 10 helps for pregnancy or not. Is whatever is happening with my follicle normal or do I have any problem? All my reports are normal, including AMH 2.68, thyroid normal, and fallopian tubes normal.
