sometimes when the urine dries, you see the crystals that are supposed to react to the hcg. It doesn't mean that you're pregnant - you should just take another test. A lack of control lines means that the test was faulty. If there is even a faint line besides the control line within the time that the test says to read, though, then congrats!
Sounds like a miscarriage. I had the same thing happen years ago. In the first 6-8 weeks this happens when a miscarriage results. I never did have any children because each time it happened.
If your HCG level is 646 how many weeks pregnant are you?
The hCG levels should not be used to date a pregnancy since these numbers can vary so widely.
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* : * 3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml * 4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml * 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml * 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml * 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml * 9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml * 13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml * 17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml * 25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml * Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml * Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml * These numbers are just a GUIDELINE-- every woman's level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

I did a pregnancy test both lines came up but one was not bright could you be pregnant?
It depends what type of pregnancy test it was - results differ on all tests. If on your test 2 lines means you're pregnant, then you're pregnant - even if a positive line is there it's positive because false positives are rare. If 2 lines mean you're not pregnant, get a blood test done at the doctor's
Yes!This is very true.
Is it OK if you stick the pregnancy test in the toilet?
um... no... you will not get an accurate reading because the concentration of HGC will be WAY too sparce to detect...
Can a doctor tell that you are a week and one day pregnant?
Yes sometimes with a blood test. A blood test could detect pregnancy as early as 7 days past ovulation but no sooner. This is the best way to find out early on if you are indeed pregnant or not.
Can you be a carrier of myotonic dystrophy if you test negative by EMG?
Yes, myotonic dystrophy affects people in multiple ways and can often affect other systems of the body before the skeletal muscles therefore an EMG is no longer a reliable diagnostic tool.
When doctors draw blood from patients, the blood samples are often frozen as they are transported to a laboratory for analysis. Freezing the blood limits the possibility that the sample will degrade. A degraded sample can result in an improper or incomplete diagnosis of an illness.
Can a girl pregnant if guy sucks girl breast?
No she can only get pregnant if any of his " parts" get into her. But there one exception that if even if she's doing oral if she even swallows the sperm she can not get pregnant. If you don't want to get pregnant but you wanna do something. Try a condom. Hope this helps.
Can you still get a paternity test while pregnant 24 32 weeks?
see link below
"Can you have a paternity test while you are pregnant?"
Bleeding, stomach pain, and back pain are not pregnancy symptoms. Your pregnancy test is negative and you are using effective birth control. Please see your health care provider to find out why you're having pain.
Could an HPT give a false positive if you forgot to read it until 30 minutes later?
Probably not. If it says positive, it probably won't go away in thirty minutes. I took mine almost two months ago and it still says postive. If you are still not convinced, take another test and set a time so you don't forget. Or go see a doctor for a blood test.
If you urinate too much on a pregnancy test will it ruin it?
when taking a test you should follow the guidelines correctly as this could make the test give false readings if you think that you may have done this wrong as you should hold the test usually in your urine for so many seconds it depends which test you use. then you should take another test.
Answeryes it happed to me and i had coloured lines coming from every where but there is a 50/50 chance it can still work as mine gave me the same answer as the others i didIf your last period was July 1st and it is now August 1st should you take a pregnancy test?
Its not really true. maybe it will be a few days later if its 3 to 6 days you might want to take one. But the same happened to me it's been 5 weeks my period didn't come on but it did i just had to wait on it. But if it's been a month and about 2 weeks after you might just want to go and see...
You should see a doctor.
If your blood pregnancy test is negative are there any chances that you to get pregnant?
Hello - There are two types of blood pregnancy test. * Qualiative Beta Hcg. * Quantitative Beta Hcg. The Quantitative Beta Hcg pregnancy blood test is the most accurate blood test availble for determining and confirming pregnancy. It works by measuring the exact amount of Hcg present in the Womans blood. If your Hcg level is 5 and over then this is deemed a positive result. The Qualiative Beta Hcg pregnancy blood test is very similar to the Quantitative blood test but not as accurate during early pregnancy. The Qualiative is very similar to a urine pregnancy test and it only looks for a certain level or amount of Hcg in your blood and because of this, it is possible to mis-diagnose early pregnancy. For example the Qualiative will deem a Woman pregnant is she has 50mml of Hcg in her blood but if the Woman only had 48mml of Hcg in her blood then this test would declare a negative result when in fact she would be pregnant. Any Hcg result over 5 is a positive. Always go for the Quantitative. If you did have the Quantitative then unfortunately you are not pregnant hun. Otherwise see your doctor for a repeat test with the Quantitative. ~ T
It depends on the test used. Some of the OTC pregnancy tests can be taken as early as 5 days prior to your period. With the more basic ones, you should wait at least 2-3 days after the missed period to allow the pregnancy hormones to build up enough to be detected. Would need more info on the clear discharge. Such as is it thick or thin, actually clear or more opaque?
Answeryou can take a pregnancy test on the day of your missed period, but you should take another test in 3 to 5 daysWhat is the meaning of a 'suggestive pregnancy'?
A period delayed by a few days or weeks is suggestive of pregnancy.
What does it mean when your breast hurt after a short cycle?
In young women, it usually means that your breasts are growing. It may also be a hormonal reaction. In rarer cases it could mean that you are pregnant. If it persists and you have unusual periods or... none at all... You should see your doctor :)
I ran out of room to add more, but I also have endometriosis. Could the bleeding be associated with that? I am so confused with the negative pregnancy tests, because I FEEL pregnant...
Is it possible to have a low HCG blood level at 16 and still be pregnant?
Yes. Mine was 17 at 13 days past ovulation and then I had it tested again and it had risen to 35. It's not the initial number that matters as much as the doubling every 48-72 hours
What is the purpose of a creatine kinase test?
Elevated levels indicate damage to either muscle or brain; possibly from a myocardial infarction (heart attack), muscle disease, or stroke.
How soon after a miscarraige will a pregnancy test come out negative?
For most women it takes 24 hours to 7 days. It may take longer depending on far along you were and your individual body make up.
