Common Questions and Answers about Urine test for pregnancy

Hello,
If you are apprehensive regarding the status of your pregnancy you can get it checked. Most home pregnancy tests that check urine beta-HCG are sensitive to 20-25 mIU/ml of HCG. The test can be positive anywhere from about 2-3 days prior to a missed menses to 4-5 days after, but usually it should be done 7-10 days past your missed period.
Otherwise you can get a serum HCG also done which is more specific than urine pregnancy test.
I had a miscarriage on 2/22 and my HCG level is still at 10 as of April 8. I did a urine test at the dr's office same day on April 8 with negative result. Today, 4/13 I did a home pregnancy test and it's positive. What's this mean? is there a difference from the urine test given at the lab and urine test at home?
Its probably because yu took the negative test with unconcentrated urine...
Is it possible to have a negative urine pregnancy test and then have a positive blood test? Next fri. I am to go in and do a urine test and a blood test. They said I would get the urine test right away but the blood test they would have to call me later on. Just wondering if I get a negative urine test is there still hope for pregnancy? Also they transferred 2 embryos so would you be able to tell if there are still 2 if the HCG level is high?
A positive is a positive. I would wait or day or two and take another test with first morning urine but I would say you're pregnant.
Unfortunately people often read pregnancy tests wrong. So a blood or urine test by your doctor would probably be the best way to go. Or get a different pregnancy test that is easier to read.
That being said, no matter how faint a line (unless its to the point of being an imaginary line) it tends to mean a person is pregnant. Testing your urine first thing in the morning may produce a darker line.
Good luck!
A test at this point should be more than accurate. Get another one (pink dye is recommended) and take it with first morning urine. If this too is negative, make an appointment with your doctor and have blood testing done.
Better go to the dr on that one.
It is possible that you could be pregnant. The home pregnancy tests look for the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG in the urine. If the hormone level is not high enough to be detected you can get a negative result. The tests are most accurate 1 week after the first day of your missed period. Additionally you should test with the first urine of the morning. This is usually the most concentrated, and therefore has the highest level of the hormone.
