Could My Delay In Periods Be A Sign Of Positive Pregnancy?

Hello Docs:
I missed my periods by 7 days. I took the blood test of beta HCG. the level was less than 1.20. I took Meprate-10 mg thrice a day for 5 days. After completion of 5 days course of Meprate, I haven't got periods from last four days & I have also took the Beta HCG test again on 2nd day after taking the Meprate course of 5 days . This time it was 5.26. It is almost 18 days from my regular cycle, I haven't got period. I truely wish to be pregnent, but couldn't conclude by these results that I am pregnent or not. Pls answer me,Am i pregnent or this mecidine can adversely effect my pregnancy, if I am pregnanat. Pls answer docs. pls.

Hi,

You should stop taking any medications and get a pelvic ultrasound to detect whether you are pregnant or not. As after 18 days from the date of your missed period, a fetal sac should appear on pelvic ultrasound if you are pregnant.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
