AnswerI don't understand your question. If your last period started on November 23, you probably ovulated on December 6 and could have conceived only if you had sex on November 22,23,24, or 25. If you did become pregnant at that time, a pregnancy test would not show a positive result untilk 14-21 days later. The best time to take a pregnancy test is seven days after missing your next period. You were due for your period on December 20. You should take a pregnancy test after December 28. If it is negative at that time, you are not pregnant. If the Beta HCG value is less than 5 you were never pregnant and did not miscarry. If the test is negative and you do not have a period, you may merely have some hormonal imbalance, which is common between 40-50 years of age.
