My girlfriend last menstrual period was on 27th April, and her cycle is usually 45 to 48 days. We had intercourse in May. She took a 5 day course of Meprate 10 mg to try to bring her period early, but it has not started. While on the medication, she took a home pregnancy test, which showed a very faint, almost colorless line (possibly an evaporation line). She repeated the test after 5 days, and it was negative. Could she still be pregnant?

Long cycles can delay periods.
Faint line may be evaporation line.
Meprate wont work if pregnant.
Do Serum Beta hCG test for confirmation.
If negative, periods will start soon.

Can a beta HCG blood report be wrong in early pregnancy? Because my cycle length is 40 to 45 days. I got my beta HCG test done after a 1 day delay as per my cycle and the report came negative.

Mam or sir, is it true that beta hcg test has no connection with when you had sex? Will the test give an accurate result only after a missed period?
