Hcg levels and viability of pregnancy.

I went to the doctor today because my
period is late, it's been 44 days since my
last one. They did a urine pregnancy test
and it was negative. However, the doctor
said that does not mean that I am not
pregnant. She said that maybe there's just
not enough hCG in my urine yet. She wants
me to get a blood pregnancy test done for
hCG, Beta Subunit, Qualitative and a hCG,
Beta Subunit, Quantitative. Does anyone
know anything about the difference between
these two? If I don't have enough hCG in
my urine does that mean that this
pregnancy(if that's what it is) might not
be viable?

No, it just means your urine could be
watered down. Some women never get
positive pregnancy tests. Do what your
doctor tells you. He/she knows more than
us.

It's just, my last pregnancies ended in a
early miscarriages so I'm really nervous!
By the time I found out I was pregnant
this past time, I was already on my way to
losing it. I guess this is why she is
testing me to make sure I'm not.
Edit: I know stress can cause you not to
ovulate(thus being late), but I am sure I
ovulated as I have been charting
religiously. Can stress cause you to lose
a baby?

Actually if you don't mind me
asking......when was the last time that
you had a m/c, because i had one in July
of this year and my cycles still haven't
got back to normal. My last one was 41
days and I wasn't like that before the
m/c. I really thought that there was a
possibility that I was pregnant because I
was so late but no I started af
today......which really sucked. Oh well I
guess there is always next month.
Good luck to you and hopefully your bfp
really soon!!!

thats an evap line
when you let the test sit it gives you a
false +
if you dont get a + in the first few
minutes then it means your not preg

Guys, I don't think she's claiming those
to be her own tests so relax  She is
simply showing what a proper test should
look like!!

well on the first test she shows... why
does she say....
"Just took another test at 7:30 pm and it
