Can Urine HCG Levels Be Too Low To Be Detected?
Dear doctor, Iam 2 weeks late and my last period was 48 days ago. I have done 6 tests all are negative. It included blood test last week, and urine in caps a week before that, and home tests. I feel sick all day, have cramping tummy pains, sore breasts, headache and sore calf musles and back ache ! I sometime have irregular cycle but never this long. i dont know whats wrong, my husband and i really want a baby, and i ve been hoping to be pregnant. My question is could my urine hcg level be too low to detect, since some people detect later than 5 , 6 weeks.??

If you are 2 weeks later, then blood test would for sure give you the confirmation of being or not being pregnant. Sometimes urine hcg are too low to detect, that's why hcg in blood is more accurate. If this results negative, then you should take some pill to have menstruations.
