My girlfriend took a pregnancy test and got negative three times after missing her period for 2 weeks. She took Meprate for 3 days and got her period after 2 days with heavy flow for 5 days. Can she still be pregnant? Does Meprate cause periods even if you are pregnant? Please help.

Three negative pregnancy tests after 2 weeks of missed periods strongly suggest she is not pregnant. Meprate (medroxyprogesterone) is usually not effective if someone is pregnant. Getting a 5 day heavy flow after Meprate makes pregnancy highly unlikely. For full confirmation, a Beta HCG blood test can be done.

Received my report of HCG test where the result says 79.20. What does that mean? Female pregnancy section is blank. Then week of gestation is mentioned. Comment says reference range: Male and non pregnant females.

My last menstrual period was on 22nd August. On 27th August, my endometrial lining was measured at 16 mm. My pregnancy test is negative. I do not have polycystic ovaries, and my menstrual cycles are usually regular, but last time the period lasted only 2.5 days. What should be the next step?

Hi Doctor, I was married on 22nd July, and my period was due on 10th August. I did a home urine pregnancy test, which showed a positive result. Yesterday, we confirmed with a Beta HCG blood test, which showed a value of 4152 mIU/mL. Does this confirm my pregnancy, and how many weeks pregnant am I likely to be? I have attached the Beta HCG test report for your reference.
