Is It Possible To Have A Positive Urine Pregnancy Test And A Negative Blood Test?
I was diagnosed with a UTI but also had pregnancy symptoms. I went to the hospital and they said I had a faintly positive urine result and a negative pregnancy result with blood test. Why wouldn t my blood have the same hcG hormone that s in my urine? Is it too soon for the urine and blood tests to show pregnancy? The doctor told me to wait a week and then test again.

Hello,
For pregnancy test is possible but it is weird. Did you do blood test HCG quantitative or qualitative? Normally blood test qualitative is more accurate. HCG levels can first be detected by a blood test about 11 days after conception and about 12-14 days after conception by a urine test. You should recheck in several days, first-morning urine most accurate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
