Why is it so hard to get your hcg levels to show up on tests urine and blood even when you feel the baby move?

you are feeling a ghost baby u r not it is what they call aghost baby It may be a phantom pregnancy, or it may be that you are so late in your pregnancy that the HCG has dropped back as the other hormones have taken over. An ultrasound scan will show if you are pregnant.

I have had three positive urine pregnancy tests and a negative blood test which is corrct?
I had the same thing happen to me. I took several home pregnancy tests that came back positive. I went to the doctor they did a blood test and it came back as negative.

Ive read alot on these blood tests and only a few that ive read said that the blood test came neg but they were in fact prego.

Why is urine used as a sample over blood when testing for genetic metabolic disorders?
Urine is the preferred sample when testing for acidemia in metabolic disorders. The general researchers says that the metabolites appear in urine first and take longer to be detected in blood, making the urine sample as the preferred sample for screening and diagnosis of rare 100 metabolic disorders. Metabolites appear first in the urine and later in the blood, making pre-symptomatic detection of metabolic disorders possible from urine sample. Its a Non-invasive process for screening of metabolic disorders, hence its Baby-friendly. Therapy and Management of these disorders at its earliest will help to curb any damage to the baby.
Can they test for drugs in cord blood?
Yes, and so can your urine and blood. Not only that but when your baby is born the staff do not need your permission to drug test your baby (by any means, urine or blood). If you use any drugs while pregnant it will show up in your baby's system. Why are you doing drugs when your pregnant? I am 6 months pregnant and I gave up drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and smoking pot when I found out. Please, don't be selfish, this is 9 months of your life. Give it up and get help if necessary. Do some research about what a mothers drug use does her developing baby.
How reliable is the genetic testing by a urine test?
In genetic testing particularly in metabolic disorders the testing is done by a painless urine test for DNA analysis even a cheek swab is sufficient. To know about genetic abnormality during pregnancy their are specialized test like amniocentesis and CVS and after delivery a urine test to know about a metabolic defect. Before birth all metabolic dysfunction was corrected by mother but after delivery when the baby starts surviving on it own he insufficiencies start becoming visible. This disorder starts harming the baby right from birth but symptoms only appear later. This is the reason why it becomes difficult for parents to believe that the disorder was present since birth it only got diagnosed later in life and the baby is suffering because they did not get the urine test done before. Urine test is very reliable as it can detect metabolites even in micro concentration. Test results are diagnostic making it reliable. I remember when my baby was in the nicu, the treatment was based on the urine report. When I further researched this aspect, (I always knew that blood report is the ultimate) to my surprise I found that the urine test which is carried out on Newborns after 48 hours of their birth is 100% reliable. After 48 hours, the metabolic system of the baby kicks in and hence can give the exact levels of the metabolites that are present in the body through the urine. These levels may not been seen accurately in the blood and hence urine is the best method.
