Could I Be Pregnant Despite Negative Beta hCG Test?
I'm a 32 year old female and I have been missing my period for 5 days now. On January 5th I had unprotected intercourse with ejaculation. The 5th was a day before my ovulation, according to my calendar. An hour after the intercourse, I took a morning after pill. My period was supposed to come on the 20th, but it didn't and now it's late for 5 days. I did a beta hcg blood test on the 20th and it was <0.20 which I know is negative, but it's still concerning me. Is there a way I could still be pregnant? Did I take the beta hcg test too soon? My periods are almost always regular and my cycle lasts for about 28-30 days. Currently, I'm not experiencing any major symptoms other than typical PMS symptoms

It’s understandable to feel concerned about a missed period, especially after unprotected intercourse and taking emergency contraception. A negative beta hCG test on the due date of your period generally indicates that pregnancy is unlikely at that time. Variations in menstrual cycles can occur due to stress, hormonal fluctuations, or factors like illness. If your period doesn’t arrive soon or symptoms worsen, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for further evaluation and guidance.

I want to know if my cycle length is normal because one month my cycle length is 23 days and next month it's 28 days and next month it's again 23 days and I don't even know that I am having period when my cycle length is 23 days but when my cycle length is 28 days I feel pain and cramps
Female | 26
Having some variation in cycle length from month to month is pretty normal, and it's also normal for cycles to range between 21 to 35 days. In your case having cycle lengths of 23 days and 28 days is within the normal range.. And pain and cramps during a 28-day cycle is quite normal which almost all women go through. If its really unbearable you can condult your doctor

Visit a gynecologist to evaluate the issue and get proper treatment. It coulb be an issue of PCOS. Heavy bleeding and prolonged periods may also be a sign of a more serious underlying condition like fibroids, etc.

If your menstrual bleeding continues for 15 days, it is pertinent to visit a gynecologist without further delay. This may be the symptom of more serious health issues, e.g. fibroids or endometriosis.

Having three periods in a short time can feel concerning. There could be various causes like hormonal changes, stress, or certain health issues. Tracking any other symptoms such as pain or heavy bleeding is wise. Seeing a gynecologist is recommended to discuss your concerns and get a thorough evaluation. Ruling out any underlying problems and receiving guidance on the next steps is important.

Hi Sir, I have been operated for an ectopic pregnancy 4 years ago. I'm now 35 years old. My hormonal profile and my husband's sperm analysis is normal. HSG showed a fimbria end block. What options should I consider for fertility?
Have you checked the AMH level of yourself, and also the antral follicle count in Sonography?
Hsg is not the absolute report, probability of it being right is 60% since the patient is conscious and the procedure itself is painful, thus the report can falsely show positive/negative indication. The true status of the tube is better assessed by a diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy, wherein we put a telescope in your abdomen.
If in any doubt, then approach doctors from this page - Ivf doctors in India, or you can seek help from me too.

A hormone imbalance can often be the reason behind it. As they control the menstruation cycle. Stress, weight changes, and various medical conditions are also responsible for it. Consult a gynecologist for proper guidance and treatment for your regular cycles.

The ultrasound results show that your ovaries are larger and have lots of little follicles. These symptoms could be indicative of a medical condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS can be the reason for irregular periods, weight gain, acne, and fertility issues. Using healthy lifestyle choices, like eating a balanced diet and exercising frequently, can be of use in the management of PCOS. It is necessary to follow the gynecologist's instructions.

It sounds like you might be experiencing dysmenorrhea and possibly some spotting. This can be common, but severe pain and unusual discharge should be checked. Please consult a gynecologist to discuss your symptoms and get the appropriate care.

Irregular or abnormal menstrual bleeding can occur due to many reason like hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in contraceptive methods, etc. It doesn't always mean that its about pregnancy. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it's advisable to take a pregnancy test to get a clearer understanding of your situation.

Hi Doctor, now am 35weeks pregnant and I will enter into 9th month on 25th august my scan shows 35weeks 1day pregnant is there any problem in my Baby growth. Baby Weight for 35weeks 1day is 2.41kg.
Female | 27
The normal weight of a newborn at 35 weeks and 1 day is 2.41 kg. However, it is worth mentioning that these estimates may vary, and normal slight differences should be taken into account. You should eat a balanced diet and go for your prenatal check-ups on time. If you have any worries, you should not think twice before asking your gynecologist.

I did pregnancy test but it is unclear. One line is prominent while other one is almost invisible. I want to know what does that mean. If it’s positive, I need to go for abortion. Kindly prescribe medicines. It is for your reference that my last periods started on 28/12/2022. And last I had intercourse on 12/01/2023.
Female | 26
It could be an indication of a very early stage of pregnancy. Get a proper evaluation by a gynecologist to confirm your pregnancy.

I had my Feb periods on 7th and after that I had an intercourse on 24th Feb...for my March periods it should date on 5th which is usually 2-3 days before from the last periods cycle. But on 6th March I am feeling cramp since morning and little red or brownish bleeding. I am confused of it is implantation bleeding or my regular periods
Female | 25
You may have implantation bleeding. This light spotting occurs when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterus lining. Mild cramps can accompany it too. However, it might be your period starting as well. Pay close attention to the flow and intensity. If bleeding becomes heavier like a normal period, then it probably isn't implantation. Every person's cycle is unique though.

Am Aysha, age 31.I have two children aged 10 and 9. Later 6 years ago got pregnant twice and had an abortion on the pill. Now I am pregnant again. Is it dangerous to have an abortion after taking the pill again?
Female | 31
It is quite questionable whether having an abortion after consuming a birth control pill can cause critical problems. Therefore, the first and foremost thing is to consult with the doctor about your case. If you face unbearable pain, heavy bleeding, or fever after the operation, it can be a sign of infection. Keep in constant contact and a close partnership with your gynecologist.

I have two queries . First that I have pcos and my USG shows right ovary bulky what is the treatment as I have heavy periods irregular and a lot of pain. Secondly does rubbing genitals when one person is naked and another is wearing nikker causes pregnancy. ?
Female | 25
For PCOS, an enlarged right ovary may cause heavy periods, irregular cycles, and pain. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms like regulating periods and reducing pain. Contraceptive pills, exercise, and medications can help address these issues. As for your second question, rubbing genitals without clothes generally doesn’t result in pregnancy, but it’s advisable to use protection to avoid any risks. If you continue to have concerns, consulting a gynecologist is recommended.

Female | 25
Chocolate cysts can give you pain, cause irregular periods, and even affect fertility. Ayurveda provides natural remedies which may assist in minimizing symptoms and cyst size. However, If you are looking for an Ayurvedic practitioner who can give you a tailored treatment based on your particular condition, then you are in the right place. Let your current doctor know if there are any modifications to your treatment plan.

Sometimes people miss their periods after stopping birth control shots. That's normal. Your body adjusts. You might feel bloated too. Breast tenderness as the hormones get back in balance. Eat good foods, work out, chill. If three months pass without a period, see a gynecologist.
