A member asked:

10-11 dpo and hcg level is at 10. could i still be pregnant or is that to low? currently had 5 positive urine test results.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Testing too soon: HCG level of 10 requires re-testing in 4-5 days. Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about two weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
