Question 1

Hi, my friend has had irregular periods for a long time, occurring once every 2 to 3 months. She consulted an allopathy doctor and all tests, including thyroid and scans, were normal. The doctor suggested it should improve after her marriage. She continues to have hair fall but no weight gain or loss. I suggested consulting an Ayurvedic doctor from Kerala. She is taking the medicines suggested by the doctor, but this time it has been 2.5 months and she has not got her period. Before that, her periods continued for 2 months, though the flow was very less. She is also worried about pregnancy, but they are not planning to have children for another 1 to 2 years. She did home pregnancy tests twice in October, once in the first week and once in the last week, after skipping her 2 month period. Just in case, the urine test was a false result. They are planning to go for a blood test. Is it possible that the home test was wrong both times, and can the blood test report be trusted?

Question 2

Tomorrow will be the 25th day since my last period. Can I take a home pregnancy test or a beta hCG blood test at this stage? Please guide me.

Question 3

I did my pregnancy test on the 45th day and got a very mild positive indication. Then I did it again on the 50th day and did not find any positive indication. I do not have any pregnancy symptoms except pain in my breast nipples. Otherwise, I am normal as on any other day. Is this a positive pregnancy result or negative? Please clear my doubt.

My LMP was 26th January. Yesterday I did a Beta HCG test because in my UPT it showed negative. Today the report came and my Beta HCG blood report shows 26.22. This is positive or negative?

HCG above 5 indicates pregnancy, so 26.22 is positive but very early. A repeat HCG test in 48 hours should show doubling if the pregnancy is progressing normally. UPT may still be negative due to low hormone levels.
