HCG: This is in reality three 'the same' numbers. If there was a viable pregnancy the numbers should be doubling or more. These three closely similar and nearly gone numbers represent a situation where you are not pregnant any longer.

I had several positive and negative pregnancy home tests after a weird (and shorter) period. Had 2 blood tests 3 days apart. Both had hcg level 13. A week later I have cramping at times - almost like period pains. Period not due for at least 6 days.

A member asked:

Tested for pregnancy 2 week after missed period neg, then 3 week after missed period blood test negative. Currently did not get my period this month either. Can it be ectopic pregnancy since they produce lower hcg levels ?

A member asked:

Could I have an ectopic pregnancy with hcg level too low for home pregnancy test even after 2 months? Missed two periods, tested 6x negative. Had blood test 3 week after first missed period, negative? Would that blood test be accurate, or too soon ?
