Question

Positive hpt low beta...

I took an IC this morning and saw a faint but there line so I used smu on a frer and got a clear second PINK line within 5 minutes. Talked to my doc and since I had a loss 4 weeks ago they put in a beta to see if it could be left over... the beta was 4! How are urine hpts positive with a beta of only 4?

If I were you I would ask the Dr to repeat the test, especially if that line gets darker!!
I looked at them and I just can't understand either why your betas would be so low! HPTs do not pick up that low! Maybe the doctor made a mistake somewhere.
I guess the deciding factor would be if the line keeps getting darker. Take another IC tomorrow morning to see! Good luck!

I'll definitely talk in 2 days especially if AF doesn't show! I'm glad someone else can see the lines clearly... It's definitely positive I was shocked when I saw the result!

I don't know... my hcg level with my cp was 9 and I was still getting decent (but still faint) pink lines. I was always told hpt's don't pick up hcg that low, but they did with me. Hopefully though your hcg has gone up since test, and I'd ask for another blood test!
