Hello doctor,
I had my beta hCG done yesterday. It came as 2.00. I had sex recently. Eight months ago, when I had done the same test, my beta hCG was less than 0.1. Why this increase from 0.1 to 2? Is it because I can be pregnant and the hCG is increasing gradually? Or there are other reasons as well which increases it? I wanted to ask this because I am also experiencing early pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, vomiting, a bit of back pain as well. My appetite is down.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
A beta hCG level which is increased indicates a possibility of pregnancy. You need to do a USG scan to look for evidence of fetus in the uterus. Also, you need to repeat a beta hCG level after a week from the date of first test increasing levels definitely are significant.
Meet a gynecologist at the earliest. Do not use any home remedies or emergency contraception pills as they can cause serious side effects.

Thank you doctor,
So, this increased beta hCG indicates that this is the start of pregnancy? No other reason is possible for this increase?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, but please also do a repeat hCG level from the same lab and an ultrasound to confirm.
