Invalid means either the test is negative or sample was too less to give out any result.

Kindly tell me why my eggs did not rupture even after taking HCG 10000 injection. Please see my report and suggest what I should do next?

My period is delayed for 44 days and my report of beta HCG is below 0.5. I am taking Deviry tablet to induce period. How long will it take for my period to come?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear Doctor, If a woman takes Duvadilan 10 mg and Susten 200 mg capsules as per medical advice, will these medicines affect the Beta HCG levels in a blood test? Can they cause the levels to drop or increase?
