Is 16-Day HCG Test Accurate After Levonorgestrel Use?

Is blood HCG test 16 days after intercourse consider to be reliably accurate to conclude the results if it took levenogestrel after the sex?

1 Answer

Answered on 11th Jan '25

A blood HCG test performed 16 days after intercourse can provide reliable results, particularly when assessing for pregnancy. However, taking levonorgestrel, often used as emergency contraception, can affect hormonal levels and potentially delay ovulation. Symptoms such as missed periods or breast tenderness are common indicators of pregnancy, but they can also result from hormonal changes. If you're uncertain about your test results, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for an accurate evaluation and support.

Dr actually I take I pill after two days of intercourse after that I get my periods on 20 jan but my acutal period date is also between 18 to 20 and after that I also get spotting at 3 feb after 9 days of my periods , and now 18 feb is my periods date but I can't get my periods so what does is sign of pregnancy or it is normal

Female | 20

I suggest you to see your gynecologist for a proper diagnosis. Delayed periods may be a sign of pregnancy but other factors can cause the same effect such as stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalance. Getting a medical opinion is crucial

I'm having irregular periods but I've cured it by taking medication from last 4months I've got my period regular last time it came 7 days before the time and this month it's been late for 14 days and I'm having pregnancy symptoms so I decided to test tomorrow but today I'm not having any symptoms

Irregular periods can have various causes, and taking medication to regulate them is a positive step. However, even with regular periods, occasional variations in timing can still occur. It mostly happens in maximum no. of women. if you feel you're experiencing pregnancy symptoms it may be a good idea to take a pregnancy test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.

Hi dr I have one doubt… I am in first month of pregnancy and doctor advised me to take corpreg tablet instead of folic acid… So my doubt is which one is better… can I take both tablets together?

Female | 27

It is commendable that you are already looking for nice ways to care for yourself and your pregnancy. Folic acid is essential for a healthy pregnancy. It helps in reducing the incidence of neural tube defects in the baby. Corpreg is a supplement that contains folic acid and other vitamins and minerals. You can take the two pills in combination because taking corregar improves the baby's birth by adding extra necessary nutrients for the baby's development.

Trichomoniasis is an infection that can e­xist without notice. A tiny parasite causes it. It spre­ads through sexual contact. You might experie­nce itching, burning, and unusual discharge in the private­ parts. But it's simple to treat with antibiotics if diagnosed. Always practice­ safe sex to avoid infections like­ this one.

The first day of my last period was 22nd December 2024, and it lasted 4 days. I was supposed to start my next period on 22nd January, 2025. However, I have not had it till today (31st Jan, 2025). I had protected sex on 12th January, in which condoms were used and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. What are the chances I might be pregnant? Should I take a test? Am I just late?

However, this is the longest cycle, and my last two periods have been shorter than usual ( 4 days instead of my usual 5 days).
