Brief Answer:
Repeat after 15 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It will take about 15 days for pregnancy test to be negative, Hence test again after 15 days.

If still positive after 15 days, you need to get ultrasound scan to see if abortion is complete or not.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Today I had done my beta Hcg test its 1429.53. May I know wat is the result mean .

Answered by Dr. Soumya (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Repeat beta hCG after 4 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This blood test suggests you are still pregnant.

This will fall if abortion is complete.

Please check after 4 days again if beta hCG is falling. If it does not fall, it means abortion is not complete yet.
