My last period date was 21st November. In December, I have not had my period yet. Today is 29th December. Yesterday, I had a beta HCG test, and my report showed 162.8 high, marked in red. My doctor said there is nothing to worry and advised repeating the test after 48 hours. In my UPT test, there was a faint line. I am attaching my beta HCG report. Is my report okay?

A beta hCG of 162.8 suggests early pregnancy. Repeat after 48 hrs to check doubling. A faint UPT line also supports pregnancy. Follow up with scan if rise is confirmed.

Is a beta hCG test a confirmatory method to detect pregnancy after 17 days of intercourse? If the result is negative, can I relax, or is any further testing required to confirm?

Hi, I have been having nausea since 2nd September till today. I have back ache and cramps like period. My last period was from 17th to 20th August with an irregular cycle. The last cycle was 80 days. Could I be pregnant? I had unprotected intercourse from 28th August to 4th September. I took a home test on 7th, 9th and 10th, and it was negative. Please advise. Thanks.

My periods are delayed by 12 days, but my pregnancy test result is negative. What could be the reason for this delay, and what should I do? Please suggest.
