Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. 
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 2

what does it mean if hcg blood test comes out as less than 1?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Hcg is used as a marker of pregnancy or certain tumor types.  Either way, a level of less than 1 would be considered normal.

Question 3

9 weeks after contact doc said i was 100% not pregnant when he did transvaginal us.few days later blood test hcg less than 1, its not poss im pregnant rite

Accepted Answer

Not pregnant: If your bhcg was less than 5 then you are not pregnant. You did not need to wait 9 weeks. A urine pregnancy test could have been done about 2 weeks after sexual intercourse and if negative then that meant you were not pregnant.

Question 4

how soon can you take a hcg blood test. and how accurate is it. can i take only one or is more needed.

Accepted Answer

HCG test: A blood, or urine, HCG test should be positive about 10 days after conception - even before you've missed a period. Both will tell you if you are pregnant. If you are concerned about miscarriage, the blood quantitative HCG test will help. This test will need to be done and then repeated again in 2-3 days to make sure the HCG is rising normally.

Question 5

hcg test indicated 12-14wks (49000) but u.s said 6wks 1 day. what could be causing the high blood test? one baby w. heartbeat of 118 found during u/s.

Accepted Answer

What did your OB say: Your OB should be answering all your preg related ?S just like I do with my pts, bhcg range can be variable, you need a rescan in 1 week to make sure the ht beat is normal and the fetus stays viable cause the ht rate should be faster than that in 1 week if the preg is normal ht rate shoudl be ideally well over 120 at 7 weeks.

Question 6

my u/s showed i am 6 weeks 1 day but my blood test indicated i was 12-14 weeks. the u/s showed one baby so far, what could make the hcg level so high?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound is right: Hcg levels don't mean much, the ultrasound is what is used for dating criteria.

Question 7

could a blood test for hcg ever be wrong if i took it one month after sex?

Accepted Answer

Life is not perfect: And life is not exact.  If a test says pregnant, and there are no symptoms of pregnancy, just recheck another test.  If a test says not pregnant, but there are plenty of pregnancy symptoms, just recheck another test.  However, the blood test at one month after sex (with no sex since that event) is almost always correct.

Question 8

i started spotting the 10 of this month was still spotting some yesterday so i went had a blood test done and they my hcg level was at one percent?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Did you miss a period? Did you have sex since your last period? If you missed a period and/or are more than three weeks past the last episode of sex, you are not pregnant. 
Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 9

hcg blood test level under 2 @ 26 days after unprotected sex.i'm on the pill but took the 1st one a day later than usual by mistake. should i re-test?

Accepted Answer

See below: Did you miss a period after sex, if you did not, you are not pregnant. An HCG level of two 26 days after sex argues against pregnancy. You may wish to do a home pregnancy test in 4-5 days, use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you get a period before that, then there would be no need for the test.

Question 10

can i be pregnant after a 1.5 on hcg blood test one month after unprotected sex and birth control pill? no periods since 1.5 month.

Accepted Answer

HCG level not : Consistent with pregnancy. Hcg level of 1.5 does not suggest pregnancy.
