Dear Sir,
I am a 23 Year old woman my menstural periods generally shift though the actual date lies between 24-26 of every month but, as i told you last month I had it on 16th, I had sex on the third day on my periods and now it is more than 4 weeks since my last menstural period i got a blood test done to check HCG levels the report shows 3.24 mIU/mL i am afraid can this mean i am pregnant?
Answer -
An HCG result of less than 5 is a negative pregnancy test. If your last period started on August 16, then you were due for your next period on September 12. The best time to take a pregnancy test is seven days after missing your pereiod. Therefore, the best time to take a pregnancy test would have been after September 19. If the test was 3.24 after September 19, you are not pregnant.
Dear Sir,(thanks for answering but please read this question in detail as i am in great trouble here)
I am a 23 Year old woman, my menstural periods generally shift, though the actual date lies between 24-26 of every month but, as i told you last month i.e in August I had it on 16th, I had sex on the third day on my periods i.e on August 18th, and now it is more than 4 weeks since my last menstural period I got a blood test done to determine HCG Beta Subunit, Maternal Serum levels, the report shows 3.24 mIU/mL. I am afraid can this mean i am pregnant? Can a blood test report show any positive levels of HCG, Beta Subunit, Maternal Serum ( as in my case) even if the woman is not pregnant, the reason of asking this is how come it is present in my body if I am not pregnant?
AnswerI don't think you understood my answer. You claim that your HCG result was 3.24. That is a NEGATIVE result. YOu are not pregnant. If your last period started on August 16 and you were pregnant, the HCG result would be between 1000 and 50,000. Anything less than 5 is a negative pregnancy teest. Every woman has some HCG. As long as it is not elevated, you are not pregnant.
