A member asked:

Is it dangerous if my hcg is too low to show positive test 5 days after missed period???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: This one value is significant only if you want to know whether you are pregnant or not. It is normally very low at first and should double every 2-3 days in a normal pregnancy. If it doesn't double that is worrisome and needs to be looked into further. Hope this helps.
