A member asked:
Can a hpt determine whether your levels are clear or not. and also do your hcg level have to be 0 before you can get pregnant.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Yes, a urine pregnancy test is an adequate way to follow HCG levels down to negative, and no, the HCG level (measured on a blood test) is sometimes slightly above zero because of other hormones in your blood that 'look' like hcg.
