There are so many variables it's hard to say. One could be that theirs picks up higher levels of HCG then yours did, and it's possible you just haven't built that much up yet (as it's still early). The second is that if you went in the afternoon, your urine may have been more diluted - drinking more during the day, etc. Check out peeonastick.com and see if they have levels listed of the tests the offices use. I know they list out the store brands. The other option is to pick up a urine sample cup from the office, fill it with first morning urine and drop it off to be tested again. Hugs and good luck. (And congratulations). ;)

I agree with the first poster... so many test pick up on different levels of HCG. it might just be that your urine at that time was diluted . I think THREE positive definitly out weighs ONE Negative. If i were you ill go ahead and test again with an hpt. I used the dollar ones and you wouldnt beleive how much they actually resemble the DR. office ones. Gd luck hun and the best to you. keep us posted ....baby dust sent your way!

There are many reasons to why you could have gotten a negative at your doctors office, one of the being the type of test and the other what time of day you took the test.
