...pregnancy test and it came back? negative.. The doctor said that he was suspicious of my period not being here because the last time I had it was May 5th.. So I guess he decided to run a pregnancy blood test, I didn't know he was. An hour and a half later he comes in and sits down and said that the blood test confirms pregnancy and my HCG levels were at 1632, he said I was about 3 or 4 weeks pregnant. But why didn't it show up in the urine if the hcg is that high?? I feel a bit pregnant, but I am having slight menstrual like cramps. On my hospital diagnosis papers I was diagnosed with pregnancy, but still that negative urine is freaking me out. SO whats the deal am I pregnant or not?
 
Blood tests are supposed to be more accurate than the urine tests. If you have a fairly regular cycle of about 28-30 days, then your period would have been due around June 1-3, so the fact that the doctor told you that you were about 3-4 weeks is about right (they start counting from the first day of your last period). My guess would be that you are indeed pregnant.
 
blood test dont lie...your pregnant. sometimes the urine test give false neg. due to not having enough hcg in your urine at the time. like if you drank something befor the test your urine would be diluted.
 
yes i would say you are because the doctor said so and sometimes test like that are not so sure of but otherwise i would think you are


good luck
 
urine tests are not always as sensitive or accurate as blood

If the blood test from the doctors say you are pregnant, then I think you probably are... you can retest if you are unsure about it.
