My blood pregnancy test sensitivity 25 minternational units/ml, and they were trying to say it was negative but reading postitive? which is it

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

BHCG = 25 = pregnant: A bhcg of 25 is a positive pregnancy test. That is a very low number though so scheduling a follow up with your doctor to see if the number is rising normally is important.

Dr Singh and another doctor agreed

Repeat in 2-3 days: In a normal pregnancy HCG level doubles in 2-3 days during early pregnancy.
