hcg levels and pregnancy tests Posted: 01-08-08 01:30am
Should hCG levels be high enough for a HPT
to detect 4-5 weeks after conception? Just
took a test on the 18th of December and
the 4th of January and both came out
negative, supposedly may have conceived
around 4 to 5 weeks ago, although I had my
period in December. I am supposed to get
my period sometime this weekend. Should I
wait a little longer and test again in a
week maybe? When would hCG levels be high
enough to get a positive pregnancy test?

You will not get a result via urine before
your missed period. Once you have missed a
period the pregnancy test will be more
accurate.
If you really need to know, go see a dr
and they can do a blood test to tell you
if you have HCG in your blood, which can
usually be seen within3-6days of
conception, much sooner then urine.
