My partner's UPT and beta hCG are negative. Does she need any other test to rule out pregnancy?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I fully understand your concern and will surely help you. See, it is always better if the pregnancy test is done after any delay in periods. Nevertheless, 24 days is a good time for hCG to rise if the female has conceived, so it is fine. It will be helpful for me to advise you better if you can tell me the woman's last menstrual period date and cycle length. Also, whether the intercourse was unprotected or protected? Although based upon your explanation, yes, it is evident that the pregnancy is not there. However, to be sure, I request you to take a urine pregnancy test with the first urine of the day for an accurate result. Do not drink too much fluid before your test. Adhere to all guidelines written on the package of the pregnancy test kit. If the test outcome is positive, we may have to check again. Else for a negative result, we will rule out the possibility of pregnancy.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As you have now told that she has experienced bleeding, however, it was a few days early. Did she take any emergency contraceptive pill or any other medications? It is evident she is not pregnant. If you wish, just do a UPT (urine pregnancy test) tomorrow morning as explained and let me know if it is positive. If negative then it is perfect.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Wonderful that the test is negative. Yes, with the early morning test coming back negative and having experienced a period after your intercourse, we can confidently rule out pregnancy. No further tests are required. When are you expecting your next period?

Thank you.

Yes, do not worry. Please let go of the stress and get in touch after your next period.

Thank you.

Hello,

Anything below 5 mIU/mL is indicative of non-pregnancy. As far as HCG levels are concerned, they start increasing or doubling, rising exponentially after the successful implantation of a fertilized egg. So, it is safe when it is below 5 mIU/mL. What is more important is whether there is a significant rise in it. A reading below 5 mIU/mL is fine as long as it is not showing an exponential increase every week or every few days, as it happens in early pregnancy. So, do not worry and stay happy.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

Thank you.

Do not worry. If the change in value from 2.18 mIU/mL to 2.28 mIU/mL within one week, it is conclusive evidence of non-pregnancy. Anything below 5 mIU/mL indicates non-pregnancy, and since she has already had her period, there is no need for concern. Furthermore, if conception had occurred a month ago, the hCG values would have been much higher.

Thank you. I hope your queries are resolved and any further queries are welcome.
