How accurate are hpt's if you've had hcg injections?

HCG is the hormone that is detected in pregnancy tests, both blood and urine so any pregnancy test will not be accurate.

Yes, most hormones canbe tested with simple blood tests.  I am a tech and perform thyroid tests pretty much daily.  Female hormones that are associated with fertility and menopause such as follicle stimulating hormone, leutenizing hormaone and prolactin are tested regularly.  Otheres such as testosterone, estrogen, insulin and the adrenal hormones are also tested fairly often. In your case, it would appear that the thyroid testing would be a good place to start.  See your doctor and see what he recommends.

The tests are very accurate. They are manufactured with certain controls built in, but you should follow all the instructions that you were given by teh clinic or whom ever will be drawing the blood.

The answer to your question is: Yes.  The Home Pregnancy test works by detecting HCG in your urine.  Only when you're pregnant is HCG present in the urine.  You can be pregnant and not have enough to turn one positive.  You can go to your doctor and ask for a Beta Quantitative Analysis. It will tell you if you're pregnant and approximately how far along you are.

False negatives are quite common.  I had a friend who never had a positive home test...but went to he doc and was 3 1/2 months pregnant.  I would highly reccomend going to see your doc.  He would be able to do the much more sensitive blood test.

If you gor your period then you probably from experience are not pregnant.  Unless you got a positive on your HPT.  Sone women have spotting in early pregnancy, some  people even pass clots.  If you had a positive pregnancy test and then you started bleeding, take another pregnancy test just to make sure it was'nt a chemical pregnancy or early miscarriage and then if it is still positive then I would say that yes you are pregnant and go ahead and make an apointment with your doctor like you normally would.....hoe I helped

Urine pregnancy tests are known to be inaccurate, plus you need to use the test as soon as you get up as first morning urine has the highest concentration of urine.  As a pregnancy blood test is more accurate, please see your doctor to get tested.

Yes! Omg, just get a pregnancy test and do it yourself...how the hell are the people on Yahoo! Answers supposed to know...?

It would possibly be found under your lab work. They check your blood for the HCG hormone (referred to as quant or beta test). I think many hospitals do all their charting on a computer. So I dont know what paper you are referring to.

HCG level is the standard measurement for molar pregnancy. If your mole had recurred, your hcg level would have risen. I'm not sure what is causing your headaches, but perhaps it's stress? As for the abdominal pain, that is common after a D&C because it takes time for your uterus to return to size.

I haven't gotten the shot, but I've researched it a lot 'cause I'm goin' to go get it for myself.  I've researched to where I can't research any more on that topic.  lol  But from what I've read, yes, it's normal.  Your one of the lucky ones that doesn't have periods that last for a month and blood gushing.

Blood test are pretty accurate..Are you stressed, losing or gaining weight?  Those are things that can affect your cycle.  I would wait another week, then retake test.

I would go and get checked out by your Dr. If you have had a hysterectomy then I really doubt that you are pregnant, but different things can cause a positive pregnancy test. Protein in your urine, hormonal changes associated with menopause, some medications (rare), certain cancers, or just a faulty test. I would retest with a different brand and see what you get, and then I would definatly go and talk to your Dr about it.\n\nAnd just for the record, a chemical pregnancy is not what the pervious poster said. A chemical pregnancy is infact a proper pregnancy that just ends in a very early miscarriage. The egg gets fertilized but for some reason it doesn't implant properly, yet it creates enough HCG, the pregnancy hormone, to register either a positive home pregnancy test or a postive blood test. Because for whatever reason the pregnancy does not continue as normal, your period usually shows up on time or a little bit late. The reason it's called a chemical pregnancy is because it is too early for the fetus to be seen by ultrasound, and the only indication of pregnancy is chemically. 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, and a great deal of those are chemical pregnancies. If you have had a hysterectomy, then you would not be having a chemical pregnancy.\n\nTalk to your Dr, they will know what to do and will be able to find out what's going on. Good luck.

Not all home test kits are accurate.  I took one after knew I was pregnant (done at a doctors office) and it said negative. The only true way to know for sure is through a blood serum test.  You show the classic symptoms of pregnancy, and I am pretty sure thats what you will find out tomorrow.

it would show up because your hcg level would be readable by now.  i would say your having a really bad period sorry that sucks, but its better than the alternative.
