My girlfriend and I had intercourse on 27th July and 10th August. Her last period started on 21st July, and her periods are usually regular. This time, she has not gotten her period. She took pregnancy tests on 24th, 26th, 27th, and 28th August, and all were negative. One doctor advised taking Meprate tablets, but I am still confused. Could she be pregnant, and is it safe to take Meprate in this situation? What should we do next?

If your girlfriend took 4 pregnancy tests after missed period and all are negative, and one doctor advised Meprate, pregnancy is unlikely. Meprate helps bring periods when hormonal delay is suspected. However, before starting it, do a Serum beta hCG Test to rule out even rare pregnancy chance. If negative, Meprate can be taken as per prescription.

I have attached the HSG test report of my wife. It shows bilateral mid tubal block. Can someone please tell me if it is curable? Can we become parents naturally and how can we treat this?

Which test is better in one month of pregnancy, UPT or HCG? Which test gives a good result in 4 to 5 weeks of pregnancy?

I had my periods on 30 june. I had unprotected sex on 11 july. My periods were due on 30 july, but till now they have not come. I did a pregnancy HCG kit test yesterday, and the result was negative. I had unprotected sex again yesterday, making sure no semen got inside me. This morning, I did another pregnancy test, and the result was negative. What should I do to bring my periods? Is it still possible that I am pregnant after two negative HCG test results? I am very worried. Please help me.
