5 days period miss
My last menstrual period was from 26 February to 3 March.
I had genital contact (skin-to-skin rubbing) with my boyfriend, but no penetration or ejaculation inside the vagina.
My expected period date was around 1 April, but it was delayed.
I took a beta hCG blood test on 5 April (about 5 days after my missed period).
The result was negative (2.30 mIU/mL).
My Concern:
I want to confirm if this result is reliable, or if I need to repeat the test to rule out pregnancy.
