Q: hi, i have not had my menstrual since august 2nd and i had a beta hcg test done today and it is at <1 what does this mean? i have pregnancy symptoms a

No pregnancy: Irregular periods. If your period does not come soon go see a doctor for evaluation.

Q: does beta hcg test detect cryptic pregnancy? im worried and i took 3 b-hcg tests in different days first one was 2 ml/miu , second was 5ml/miu then third one was 2ml/ miu again?

: Yes, hCG level should be above 5 with ectopic pregnancy. That is the reason all young women with pelvic or lower abdomen pain who visit ER will have hCG level checked for ruling out ectopic pregnancy.

Question 1

if serum beta hcg test is positive that means that pregnancy exists in the body.....but is it necessary to have surgery if we don't want this chils?

Accepted Answer

Abortion?: I presume you are asking what your options are in case of undesired early pregnancy. If you are less than 7 weeks along, medical abortion is possible with safety and convenience, although hemorrhage is still possible especially if you have fibroids, or your dates are further along than you think. If you are over 7 weeks, dilatation and curettage is warranted. Talk to your gynecologist!

Question 2

at which test pregnancy can detect earlier among this tree test serum beta hcg test, upt kit, trans vaginal sonography???

Accepted Answer

: Blood level of HCG provide the earliest definitive evidence of pregnancy. The test may be positive even before a missed period.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 3

i had my last period on 7th december.. i did home tests 3 times in the last 2 days and they all showed positive for pregnancy.. but yesterday my serum beta hcg test gave 1.20. what could that mean? miscarriage? or ectopic pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: That number is difficult to interpret without knowing the reference range or the units being measured. Please communicate with the doctor that ordered your testing.

Question 4

hi, i did a beta hcg quantitative serum test once 39 days after sex and it came back negative 1.2 and took a home pregnancy test a week after, it came back negative too. is it accurate? should i worry about cryptic pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: You did not state but I assume you has missed your period for at least one month (39 - 14 + 7). Ectopic pregnancy or normal pregnancy is ruled out with two negative tests, blood and urine, presumably on day 25th and 32nd after missed period.

Question 5

concerned about low hcg levels. lmp dec 5, lh surged dec 18 pm-dec 20 am (prolonged this cycle). first + urine pregnancy test (very faint) jan 3 (approx 14dpo). serum beta hcg levels: 18dpo: 35, 19dpo: 47, 23dpo: 237. doubling, but low. insights?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your OB Dr.: HCG is produced by the placenta in pregnancy.  HCG increases between 25 mIU/mL to 7500 mIU/mL during the first 5 weeks. It differs in each pregnancy.  Home pregnancy tests will be positive on the first day of your missed period.  A slow rise in HCG may indicate a nonviable pregnancy. Talk to your OB Dr for an transvaginal ultrasound which can detect the gestational sac and baby.

Question 6

why i always get a positive result in blood serum pregnancy test (qualitative)? but in beta hcg says i am not pregnant (0.100miul) and in trans vaginal ultrasound my findings is pcos?

Accepted Answer

: Presence of heterophile antibodies in serum can provide incorrect results for some test. Once this abnormality is known, the laboratory can take corrective actions.
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 7

what is the best time to take a quantitative serum beta hcg test?

Accepted Answer

3 wks after sex: There is no need to rush. A pregnancy test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 wks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test. If a woman gets her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and a test isn't needed.

Question 8

0.11 of beta hcg on qualitative pregnancy test. one month since last intercouse. can i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Most likely not, i recommend to repeat b-hcg and follow up with your provider to make sure no ectopic (tubal ) pregnancy.

Question 9

hi, i have not had my menstrual since august 2nd and i had a beta hcg test done today and it is at <1 what does this mean? i have pregnancy symptoms a

Accepted Answer

No pregnancy: Irregular periods. If your period does not come soon go see a doctor for evaluation.

Question 10
