beta-hcg blood test
Posted: 09-25-03 18:30pm

I feel i'm getting crazy from this ^waiting game^ .It's driving me out of mind thinking a lot whether I could be pregnant or not? That question that is worrying many and making them anxious to know ( i'm one of them).I thought I could post this here and know what do you all think about this.


Since 3 days ago, I went to the doc , he told me as there are still few days for my period to come, it's preferable to do beta-hcg blood test that shows the level of hcg in blood .It is more sensitive that the blood test that only says positive or negative. I did the test and it found no hcg. Doc. Said it's more probably that i'm not pregnant but didn't give me the percentage for that nor even a confirmation. I am wondering if I tested early maybe or if i'm really not pregnant ( I hope that) ? Did anyone test few days before af is due and get a right result? ( note: af is due 3-4 days from now)

i can't *wait* to know !! Please advice me what to do now ?!?!? I don't want to wait again.

You took it to early maybe, take another one if your period is late. But if the doctor says you might not be...Then you might not be. Just wait. Thats all you have left to do.

You could test now but the only trouble is it may not be completely accurate, if you have your heart set on accuracy go to your doctor in 4 days and get a blood test, there will be absolutely no doubt, in the meantime you sound really excited and I don't blame you, so you may have to stick with home tests for now.

I have always tested 3 days before a period and had the correct result everytime, (been pregnant 3 times), but it really depends on you and your body and how much your hcg levels are at the time of testing.

Suzy is right it truly does depend on your body. In fact with my pregnancy my hcg levels were not high enough to detect until I was about 12 days late. Before then all my tests came out negative. Don't stress and let us know how it goes

Thank you all for your advice.I hope i'm not pregnant.It's just I have pains in my lower back and sometimes below in my abdominal .Maybe because i'm under a lot tension and stress this month worrying about whether i'm pregnant or not.I don't know. My period is due after 3-4 days and I couldn't wait again, enough all the time I waited already !

I was wondering if that test I took since 3 days and my period is still due after 3-4 days was accurate or early to detect hcg? By the way the test found that day the hcg < 1

any more advices on this matter???
I'm willing to hear more opinions asap
