Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Well my second urine test showed a faint line, and the blood HGC test was .8 and the first range levels are 2-5 for 0-1 week pregnant. My doc won't say either way if I am or not, he has a wait and see approach, and I don't feel that way. Iwas hi risk with , diabetic and pre-eclampsic etc. and need to have all the tlc I can from the get go. I don't see how he can say I'm not. The first blood test said negative, the second one came back .8 any suggestions????

Will one more week, or a few more days, give a definite result? Did you express these concerns to him? If not, I would call TODAY and express your concern. I wish I could help MORE!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 dear mel, i'm so sorry you're going through such a difficult time with all of this. the same type of thing (blood test results) happened to a close friend of mine - i believe it was after about 3 weeks or so the test was finally a true positive. my only suggestion is for you to err on the side of caution and trust your instincts. personally, i would hold off on the mtx until i was 100% positive i was not pregnant. i'll be thinking of you. karen > Well my second urine test showed a faint line, and the blood HGC test was .8 and the first range levels are 2-5 for 0-1 week pregnant.

I just know my Dr. said to NEVER have unprotected sex while on it, so I know it is a must to not get pregnant. If you are not trying, and if it was helping, why not continue?
