Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for two and a half months. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out I was pregnant. How do I read the hCG report from the prenatal test?Doctor's answer:
You need to check the values of the blood test to see if they are within the reference range on the test report. If the values are within the range, it means you are not pregnant. Then, if your period hasn't come for two or more months, it could be due to endocrine disorders, and medication can be used to regulate your menstrual cycle. However, the hCG test value is below the reference range on the test report, which indicates pregnancy. The reference range for monitoring data varies between hospitals.
