Is It Possible For The Kit To Indicate Negative If The HSG Level Is Not Very High?
I am 31 yrs old...my period is now a month late but I have been spotting light pink for a day. I have all the symptoms of pregnancy but have taken many hpt and they have all been negative...Is it possible that I am pregnant but my levels are not hight enough to be read as a positive result yet?

Hi,
Urine pregnancy kits are very sensitive and they can detect HCG levels of as low as 25 IU. You can go for a blood test, to detect serum HCG levels if you are still unsure. These give the exact value of HCG. And can help remove any doubts you have.
Usually if you are a month late, we expect a very strong positive line on the pregnancy test.
Hope this helps.
