Brief Answer:
It is a positive pregnancy test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since she had her period on 17th of March, right now she is around 4 - 5 weeks pregnant.
The normal B HCG levels around this time should be
18 – 7,340 mIU/ml.
So her level is within the normal range.
It is considered a positive test for pregnancy.
SO please do not worry.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
Yes, B hcg test is the same as normal HCG test.
Urine test is less reliable, you should go for a transvaginal ultrasound scan after 2 weeks to confirm viable pregnancy.

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Since the Beta HCG has doubled, it is a good sign.
In ectopic pregnancy, it would not have doubled.
Please do not rely on the urine test.
Ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out only after an ultrasound scan.
Based on the last menstrual period of 17th March, she will complete 7 weeks of pregnancy on the 5th of May.
Please get a transvaginal ultrasound scan on the 5th of May, that should show a fetus with heartbeat.
If you are very worried about ectopic pregnancy, you can get a transvaginal scan done even now, it should show an intrauterine gestational sac.
That will remove all fear of ectopic pregnancy from your mind.
Does she have any symptoms of ectopic pregnancy ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
