Brief Answer:
Pregnancy test,estrogen & progesterone tests

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Missed periods have to be investigated for pregnancy.
So, take up a urine pregnancy test to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
The FSH is raised, however menopause is not the only cause of raised FSH.
I would suggest you to get levels of estrogens and progesterones also.
Mid-cycle bleeding and mid-cycle pain can occur during ovulation.
Thus, there is nothing to worry about the spotting and pain.

If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.

Brief Answer:
Blood test for beta HCG should be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
A blood test for beta HCG should be done to confirm or rule out pregnancy since the urine pregnancy test is indeterminate.

Could it take longer for hcg to rise if i have a hormonal imbalance and high fsh

Brief Answer:
Beta HCG levels are independent of other hormones

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
Beta HCG is secreted by the trophoblastic tissue in initial pregnancy and it is independent of other hormonal levels.
So, the levels of beta HCG will not be altered by other hormones.

Thanks and take care
