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.

Hi, my wife missed her periods as well as passing urine frequently and also gets tired so easily. Last period date was 4th April and it was due on 2nd May. As advised by doctor, we have done Total BETA HCG, serum test. We have just received the lab report and the result showing as 19.85 mIU/mL. What does it mean?? Please advise

After seven days of a missed period, is the beta HCG test report 100 percent accurate? Is fasting required for a beta HCG test?

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?
