A member asked:

Is hcg level 26 days after sex high enough to have an accurate hpt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Border line: HCG level of 25 is generally diagnostic of pregnancy. 26 is at the borderline and you may wish to wait 2-3 days to do hpt. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. Get HPV vaccine.
