Question: I had a positive pee test & negative blood test!? wats up wit that!?
Is it normal to take a urine test for a pregnancy and it shows positive and then have blood taken for pregnancy test and it shows negative!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Your human growth hormone levels are being detected in the urine test and not high enough yet for the blood test to be positive!.(Although the blood test is a much better indicator) How far along are you!? If you believe it is two weeks or more and you are testing negative with the blood test then you probably are getting a false positive read on the urine test!. In other words you are NOT pregnant!.Lots of things can cause the urine test to read a false positive!.Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Home pregnancy tests detect human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in urine!. Human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone produced by the placenta!. Results of home pregnancy tests are accurate about 97% of the time!. If results are negative but the woman still suspects she is pregnant, she should repeat the home pregnancy test a few days later!. The first test may have been done too early (before the next menstrual period is expected to start)!. If results are positive, the woman should contact her doctor, who may do another pregnancy test to confirm the results!.

Doctors test a sample of blood or urine from the woman to determine whether she is pregnant!. These tests are more than 99% accurate!. One of these tests, called an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), can quickly and easily detect even a low level of human chorionic gonadotropin in urine!. Some tests can detect the very low level that is present several days after fertilization (before a menstrual period is missed)!. Results may be available in about half an hour!. During the first 60 days of a normal pregnancy with one fetus, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood approximately doubles about every 2 days!. These levels can be measured during the pregnancy to determine whether the pregnancy is progressing normally!.
Good Luck!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

the only thing that i can think of is that the urine tests aren't always 100% positive, blood tests are more reliableWww@Answer-Health@Com
