Patient's question:
There have been 12 days since the last. The blood HCG test result is 2.6 mIU/mL. The normal range is 0-5. Can the HCG level be considered reliable after such a long period of time?Doctor's answer:
The day of ovulation for a woman is 14 days before her next menstrual period. The chances of conception are higher within one week before or after this day. If your menstrual period does not arrive normally, you should first rule out pregnancy. It is recommended to have a blood test for HCG at the hospital to determine this. Generally, pregnancy can be accurately detected 10 days after the sperm and egg combine.Wishing you good health!
