Expert: DW - 6/11/2009


Question
Dear....
I got sex with my girl friend  35 days ago. 5 days after that she had light menstrual bleeding. but i was worried that she might be pregnant and that bleeding might be implantation bleeding. i checked beta hcg 26 days after that and results was 0.01. i checked it in another laboratory 4 days later (30 days after sex) and in this new lab results was 3.3. my girl friend has now vaginal bleeding and she says it is time for her normal period. may be she is pregnant?

Answer
It is possible that she is pregnant. Sometimes the readings are not correct for some time period. Will it be a problem if she is pregnant?
There are a couple of resources I can recommend.
