Q. Does my beta hCG report indicate that I am pregnant?
Hello doctor,
I had my last period a month ago. I had unprotected sexual intercourse with my partner three days later, on the third day of my last period. But he did not ejaculate inside me. Typically, my period lasts for two to three days only. He did not use any protection, nor did I take any contraceptive pill at that point in time. I took Azithral 250 mg twice a day for five days in the previous month. A few months ago, I had similar issues, and my period started 15 days late. Now, I am worried and regretting my decision not to take the pill as my period has not started, and I am scared to be pregnant. I am not getting any specific symptoms related to my periods. I am just feeling a bit dizzy. I have done a beta hCG test today. Please check the report. Please tell me what to do next.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I do not see any reason for you to worry. Usually, ovulation occurs between the 13th and 16th days of the period. The life of the egg is 24 hours, and that of the sperm is 72 hours. So there is no chance of the egg being available for three days, and sperm will not survive until the next ovulation. Your beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels show that there is no pregnancy. This test detects the smallest pregnancy anywhere in the body. Pregnancy is not the only reason for missing your periods.
There may be other reasons: Your body weight is slightly above normal limits. The expected weight is between 75 to 85 lbs. This extra fat can get converted to hormones and stop ovulation. Have a thyroid hormone and prolactin hormone checked. Even this anxiety of being pregnant or not can delay the period. Any sudden increase or decrease in weight. Whatever the reason for having periods, I suggest you have tablet Novelon (Ethinyl Estradiol and Desogestrel) or Ovral-G (Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol) or Dear 21 (Ethinyl Estradiol and Levonorgestrel) or Duoluton L (Ethinyl Estradiol and Levonorgestrel) or Intimacy plus 3 (Desogestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol) one tablet twice a day for ten days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and with their consent, take the medicines. You will have periods within seven to 10 days of the last pill.
