No. A negative test is 0-5, inconclusive up to 24ml - once the level hits 25ml, in a blood test it will show positive, for a urine test you need 50ml to 100ml depending on the sensitivity of the test -
These levels are usually reached in the days just after implantation, the level continues to rise to 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml in weeks 9 to 12 - at which time the placenta kicks in and begins taking over the care of the fetus. From 13 weeks on the levels very slowly drop.
If by 5 weeks since LMP the level can't be detected, the doctor would know something was very wrong.
You are not pregnant. I don't know if this is a relief or a disappointment for you. the above answer is not true, it may take awhile for hcg levels to show up on both urine and blood streams. I would wait for about 2 weeks and take another test.
i think i had a miscarriage, but i never knew i was pregnant. how do i find out for sure
Not always, but it certainly helps. If you are more than 4 weeks pregnant, it should not matter but if you are less than that I would recommend using your morning urine when taking a pregnancy test. This is because your pregnancy hormone (hCG) levels are at their highest.
Yes, it's still possible to be pregnant even if a urine test is negative, especially if you are close to two weeks late for your period. Factors such as testing too early, diluted urine, or certain medical conditions can affect the accuracy of the test. If you suspect you might be pregnant, consider consulting your doctor for further evaluation or a blood test, which can provide more definitive results.
I am afraid that a fall in HCG levels is not a good sign.
That urine would be too young to get pregnant. Don't bother testing it.
Yes, it is completely possible to be pregnant again 2 weeks after a miscarriage, even if HCG levels are not back down to zero. If you suspect that you are pregnant, see your doctor.
You might have an infection. You need to speak to your doctor ASAP
no its impossible
This will generally depend on the test that is used to detect a pregnancy. Blood tests are more accurate in that they can detect a pregnancy earlier. As soon as two weeks after a missed period, blood tests can detect levels of Hcg (the hormone pregnant females produce). Urine pregnancy tests generally do not detect a pregnancy before the 6th week because sometimes it takes that long for Hcg levels to rise to the point where a urine test will be sensitive enough to detect it.
If the doctor examined you after the miscarriage you are not pregnant anymore. He would've caught it. It takes several weeks for the hormones to settle so that might be it or you are pregnant again.
Just to let you know. I am 4 weeks pregnant and my levels are at 24 now.
