PAST HISTORY : Pregnency related query
Dr. Ritu Sethi answered : 12 years ago
Hi!!
If the urine pregnancy test is negative,by the home kit and your wife has still not had her period,kindly go for a serum beta hcg test.This test is extremely sensitive and checks in the blood the same hormone of pregnancy that the urine test is checking and is 100% accurate.
The test can be done in any standard laboratory and no need for fasting sample .Sample can be given any time of the day.
If less than 5 it means that pregnancy is negative,if more than 5 indicates positive pregnancy test.

Hi!!
You can start tab endogest only if pregnancy test shows a healthy pregnancy and the location of the pregnancy is in the uterus( which can be visualised by ultrasound).
It is all the more important for you to confirm pregnancy by the test as I advised earlier
