What blood factors make a b negative?

RH factor in blood types stands for "Rhesus Factor". Blood tests were performed on Rhesus monkeys and the Rh+ and Rh- factors were isolated.

What about the meaning of RHD- Rh blood group, D antigen . The rhesus complex is not just one antigen, but several, when someone is told to be Rh+, it usually refers to the D antigen (one of the components of the Rh complex), because it's the most common, and the easiest to identify, however it's not the only one.

That refers to the process the body uses to make red blood cells.

I had ectopic pregnancy last month on 5th and had emergency surgery. And that was bad because I did not have blood draw to check for my HCG level once weekly like I was told to, I was soo busy and did not think about going back to dr for blood works. Finally I went to see dr and I had my blood draw last Friday. And they told me today that my HCG level shows high over 300. Does that mean suppose to mean? If that means I am pregnant. How can that be possible? I mean so fast. Or could that be mistake?
