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.

Mam I had unprotected sex on 2nd October. She got her periods on 8th October with normal periods. If I want to be fully 100 percent assured that she is not pregnant what to do and when to do? If I take a beta hcg test then when can I take it for the perfect and final result? Will one time test be fine or is a second time test required if the first time I get a negative result? Please answer and clear my doubt sir and mam.

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.

My beta hCG result is 3.10 mIU per ml. According to the report, the biological reference range is not detectable to 2.90 mIU/ml indicates non pregnant status. So, what does my result mean?
