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

Mc continue coming from last 15 days

Female | 29

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.

Good evening mam Naku ఈమధ్య నా కు నడుము నొప్పి అలాగే irregular periods వస్తుంటే హాస్పిటల్ కి వెళ్లాను. Naku thyroid కూడా లేదు. కానీ డాక్టర్ నాకు పీరియడ్స్ ఆగి వచ్చేవి. నాకు ultra scan తీసుకోమని చెప్పారు. అప్పుడు స్కాన్ తీసుకున్న తర్వాత నాకు అందులో ovaries:lo Rt.ovary:3.0×3.5 cm,vol-12.7cc. Lt.ovary:3.0×3.7 cm,vol-11.0 cc. అని చెప్పారు.Bilateral ovaries are bulky and shows multiple tiny follicles. అని అన్నారు డాక్టర్ గారు. నేను దీనికి మందులు వాడాలా. Diet చేస్తే సరిపోతుందా . మందులు వాడాలా వాడితే సరిపోద్దా. లేదు అంటే ఆపరేషన్ పడుతుందా. మందులు వాడితే ఇవి తగ్గుతాయా. దీనివల్ల ముందు ముందు ఈ నీటి బుడగలు అనేవి క్యాన్సర్ కింద మారే అవకాశాలు ఉన్నాయా ఇవి ఏమైనా ప్రమాదమా. డాక్టర్ గారు.

In case you have pain or discomfort in your vagina, an immediate visit to the gynecologist is recommended. This might indicate an infection, wound, or some other medical condition.

They lasted 2 days and on the second day it became pinkish and brownish and after that no more blood for the further days too and i had transparent discharge and now i feel nausea

Female | 18

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.

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.

I am 25 years old.I have endometriosis in my left ovary of size 28mm×25mm. I was undergoing the medication of allopathy last three months. But now i want to switch my medication to Ayurveda as i am noticing so many side affects of allopathy during this period. My question is it good to under go ayurveda for chocolate cysts?

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.
