Blood HCG question

Hi everyone,

I posted a couple of days ago inquiring about a delayed ovulation...

Here is my issue...

LMP was 5/30...cycles have been getting shorter for about 8 months...average is 27-28 days...was 32 ( sigh)...

ANyway, DH and I had i/c on what would have been Day 21...Day 22 I wake up with O pain..took 4 OKP's, 2 were +, 2 were - ... tiny bit of ewcm...nothing really...

Anyway, took urine test, negative... today, took blood HCG, quantitative, and it was zero.

Could it be too early? It is 9 days since i/c, 8 or 7 days since " O "...

But if the HCG is zero, there's pretty much no chance, right??

Thanks,

J

One Step Be Sure Pregnancy Test **earliest one on list**
Detects 25 miu's of hCG

Clear Blue Easy
Detects 50 miu's of hCG

EPT
Detects 40 miu's of hCG

Selfcare Early Pregnancy Test

Thank you!!!

I actually had my blood drawn on Monday and HCG was < 2 and progesterone was 6.9

So the HPT's were right....

THanks for your info...

Sorry about the BFN!


I just wanted to add that we don't start producing the pregnancy hormone until after implantation.
