Question 1

My wife is facing some breathing issues since last one month. She is not able to complete her breath or feels short of breath and sometimes she has excessive yawning but cannot complete her yawn. In between for one week she was fine but again the same problem started. She also missed her period last month. Six months back she had a medical abortion. Today she had a blood test but her blood sample seemed to be a little dark in colour instead of bright red. We are waiting for the blood report. Kindly advise what could be the reason for this?

Question 2

I am 30 years old and have a 9 year old son via C section. I am planning for a second baby. My last period was on February 7, and I have not gotten my period since. I have taken multiple pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. However, I am experiencing bloating, dizziness, food cravings, strong smells, and occasional nausea. I feel like I might be pregnant. How can I confirm whether I am pregnant? Please advise

Question 3

Can someone please explain the difference between a beta hCG test and a serum beta hCG blood test?

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?

Your beta hCG level of 3.10 mIU per mL is slightly above the non pregnant range. This could indicate a very early pregnancy or a false positive. Please repeat after 48 to 72 hours to check for a rising trend. Rising levels indicate pregnancy.
