Will testing beta hCG after 12 days of missed period give accurate pregnancy results?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Based on the present hCG levels, it suggests that you are not pregnant at present (or today), as beta hCG level is quite low. But if you frequently have irregular periods and there had been history of sexual contact, (and if you had delayed ovulation then there may be chances of pregnancy, or in other words chances of beta hCG increasing in next few days , depending on the time of ovulation and sexual intercourse). If your cycles have been previously regular, and if this is the first time it got delayed, then you need to evaluate for the causes of it. Please get back to me if you have further queries with the exact timeline of events and your suspicions based on the event. Meanwhile you can take medication for withdrawal periods as already 12 days have lapsed from your expected date, or you could wait for another 3-4 days, and if still not getting periods you can start taking it and evaluate yourself for the cause for delayed periods. Get an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis, a complete hemogram, your thyroid profile, serum prolactin levels checked. Take tablet Meprate or Deviry 10 mg (Medroxyprogesterone) twice daily for 5 days and then stop. Wait for the withdrawal bleed within next 7-10 days. Blood tests must done on 2nd or 3rd day of periods.
