My hcg levels have went back to 0 but after a week i have gotten a + hpt can this just be the hcg harmone lingering around are a new pregnancy now. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
New pregnancy: A negative or zero bhcg or pregnancy test must be a blood test. A zero bhcg by blood test cannot give a positive hpt ( home urine pregnancy test) from the same pregnancy. A urine test that reads negative can indeed be a false negative only to be positive a week later from the same pregnancy.
