Hi,
I understand your query & concern..
Urine pregnancy test is sensitive after 8-10 days delay in periods. So your test was -ve Because it was ealy testing.
Blood HCG Between 5 to 10 mlu/ml indicates possible pregnancy.
Repeat blood HCG level testing after a couple of days / Urine pregnancy test after 7 days to confirm pregnancy.
Thanks.
