False negative assay: hCG is one of several immune assays prone to manifest a false negative due to the "hook" effect. These analytes have a broad range of values and the assay is tuned to detect a certain range only. But values well above as well as below the range can appear negative. Ask them to do a dilution of the sample and retest. That may reveal a positive result.

Talk to doctor: Ms. Kathryn 440: You have two related questions. It would be better to talk to your doctor for explanation. Blood HCG needs to be higher than 25 to diagnose pregnancy. It is not clear how a urine pregnancy test told you that you are 2-3 weeks pregnant. You may repeat the urine pregnancy test, be sure to follow the instructions for the test carefully. Better would be to see your doctor for a repeat blood test and if needed an ultrasound examination.
