Doctor said that some sensitive home pregnancy tests can pick up a positive result with an hcg level of just 1mlu. possible? how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Does it matter? : Most tests pick up a bhcg of about 20. I am not sure why this is useful information though. A bhcg coubles every 48 hours. Even in the rare cicumstance where someone checks a test so early it can not detect it (say a level of 19) 48 hours later your level is high enough for detection. Home pregnancy tests are very simple and very accurate.

I am quite concerned about my progesterone levels. At 6w1d pregnancy I had a test result with 33.5 nmol/l, my doc said it is slightly low and put me on utrigestan 200 mg. She was happy with hcg levels. Is is slightly low or is it badly low?
I experienced implantation bleeding and got positive result from the pregnancy test then a negative at my doctors. Am I still pregnant even though my HCG is low at 23mlU/mL?
I had my FET done. My doctor told me to do an HCG test 7 days after. Results showed level 1. Can an early test detect a pregnancy or is it negative?
I am 26 days late. my doctor has tried hcg level blood work and a quantitive blood work& home pregnancy tests have been negative. Idk what to do.
Why would a doctor say that hCG levels in pregnancy can be 500 at 3-4 dpo? This would mean that a urine test would be positive at this point - how?
