Light second line on pregnancy test; just got a blood test?
Ok, I took 4 pregnancy tests and all had a light second line, but definitely visible. I went to my doctor this afternoon for a blood test. They said they don't consider a woman pregnant until her HcG level is over 25. The sensitivity of the hpt's I took were 20-25. Would they produce a line light at that level or would you get a strong positive at that point? I'm wondering if my HcG level will be at least 25, so I can "officially" be pregnant. I will know tomorrow around lunch time! This is my second pregnancy and when I went in for a blood test with my first child,my level was 25 and they said the test was inconclusive. I hope I don't have to go in for another blood test. BTW, I'm about 11 dpo. Any help would be appreciated!

It is a quantitative test- they'll know my exact Hcg level.

If you are only 11 dpo it is still very early. I would give it a few days and ask for a *Quantitative* blood test which will tell them exactly how much Hcg is in your system. It sounds like they are running a qualitative blood test which only tells them yes or no to pregnancy and they do require a level of 25 or above. It's a waste of a blood test...go for a quantitative and use it as a baseline to compare future levels to. Congrats and good luck!
At 11 dpo, it s actually UNCOMMON to get an actual dark positive and when it does happen it is a higher chance of a chemical pregnancy. So that's a good sign for you . Also, you probably will be going in for another blood test, regardless of your quants. Its routine when someone has to have their quants taken this early at most offices. I would not be worrying at this point sweetie! Congrats!
Yeah that am i able to take place. while i replaced into 6 months pregnant with my daughter I handed out and replaced into taken to A&E the place I informed them i replaced into preganant (extensive bump supply-away) yet they pronounced they had to do a blood attempt to make advantageous, lol.
