A member asked:
What is the least amount of hcg levels detected in some pregnant women?i read a case where there was very little to be detectd via urine test till6 weeks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely scenario: Blood levels of HCG rise to above 25 units within about two weeks of conception. Urine levels become positive 2-4 days later. In short, sufficient HCG is present in urine to be diagnostic of pregnancy by 4-5 days after a missed period.
