I am 10 dpo. my period is due in 4 days. a serum hcg test is negative. i know it is detected in blood sooner than urine. can i rule out pregnancy?

No.: In my personal experience in the early stages HCG rise is quite variable. Let's see if an OB answers your questions. I am Family Practice, so I do not have the volume that they see.

Average is 14 DPO: A negative serum hCG cannot absolutely rule out a pregnancy at 10 DPO. The average day past ovulation for the first positive pregnancy test is 13.6, and the average for the first false negative result is 10.3 DPO which appears to be just about when you had yours. Thus your negative serum hCG result could be a false negative. I hope everything works out for you.
