Brief Answer:
Non pregnant state
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
I have reviewed the reports.
The beta hCG levels are less than 5, which is confirmatory of the fact that there is no pregnancy.
The complete blood count report is absolutely normal.
I will suggest you to repeat the urine pregnancy test tomorrow morning with the kit from a different brand, and observe the result at 5 minutes, and not earlier or later.
It is likely to be negative.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
