Blood test (--)Can i still be pregnant??

Hi ! My LMP was 1 Sept., i had intercourse on 13 Sept ( unpreotected sex using withdrawl method) My period is due 28-29 Sept.I'm soooooo worried that i could be pregnant!

I did at the Lab. Beta-HCG Blood Test ( shows exact amount of HCG in blood) on 22 Sept which was about 9 days after intercouse and at the same time one week before period is due.The test result was ( HCG < 1 )I thought maybe i tested early.

I waited few more days.....

Today (27 Sept) i tested again Beta-HCG blood test and the result was also (HCG <1 ) the same result as the test before which means negative.


***** PLEASE I NEED YOUR " ADVICE AND OPINION " FROM ALL OF YOU IN THIS NOW *****


Untill today, there's NO HCG at all detected in my blood and there's been almost 14 days after intercouse and 2 days left for the period to come.

I've did the most sensitive test that can detect HCG level even if it's level in blood is 1 mlu/ml Only!

Does that mean that for sure i'm NOT pregnant ?????? Or What do you think ????

I need to STOP thinking and Worrying! I'm under GREAT STRESS this month !

PLEASE HELP ME OUT OF THIS !

I want to hear from all of you who could have passed such an experience or have knowledge about that.This really will help much.

Thank you very much for your support in advance !

i think you need to calm down. seriously. what you did has a low chance of pregnancy. a chance, but a low one. and you aren't even late yet. i know you're worried and i know it's hard to wait, but this will all have seemed very silly if you get your period and it's the same as it usually is. and NO pregnacy test is 100% acurate, so yes, you could be pregnant. but wait until you're a couple days late before you bother to test again. PLEASE!!!!

Thanks for your advice.

ITS TOO HARD TO WAIT ! you can't imagine how much i'm sooooo Worried and Stessed !!

The blood test i did today is considered the "most sensitive blood test" as it detects exactly HCG level in blood even it's it's just 1 unit only.

I did this kind of HCG blood test before on 22 Sept the result was ( HCG <1)

Again i did it today (27 Sept) and still the result is ( HCG < 1)

Today is 14 days after intercourse.AF is due tommorrow or After (28-29 Sept)

There isn't even a slight change in the HCG level !

Could i still be pregnant????

OMG ! I'm trying to relax and stop thinking but i NEED to hear SEVERAL opinions from you poeple out there who have passed through such things or even have knowledge about that.

PLEASE RESPOND ASAP !

I truely appreciate everyone's advice and opinion.

If you did a blood test at the doctors (which Im surprised, normally they dont want to do them until your late or unless your having problems) and it came up >1 I doubt you have anything to worry about. These things are rarely wrong, and as said before, you did something that has a low chance of conception, and don't even know if you were in a fertile stage or not. Take a deep breath, no need to stress!

Thanks dizzy for your advice. I was soooo worried and therefore i went to the lab and the doc gave me this test. He said there is another type of blood test called qualitative blood test" wich shows either positive or negative but that test i couldn't take as time was still early for that.He asked me to do this quantative HCG blood test that shows exact amount of HCG in blood.

On 22 Sept i tested and the result was ( HCG <1)

On 27 Sept i rested and the result was ( HCG <1)

Today is almost 14 days after intercourse and 2 days before period is due and my (HCG < 1)

There is NO slight change in HCG level.My period is due 28-29 Sept

I don't know how long it takes HCG can be detected in blood as it differes from one to another and i don't also know when i ovulated. I just had sex Only on 13 Sept

(unprotected sex using withdrawl method)

Is 14 days after intercourse & 2 days before period - enough for HCG to be produced in blood even if it starts with very low level (maybe 2 then 4 then 8 then 16 ..etc ) if there was pregnancy ????
