Could I Still Be Pregnant After The Pregnancy Test Shows Faint Positive?
Dear doctor,
My name is sara im 23 years of age.A week ago i had blood work done due to a cyst on my ovaries that i thought was reason i was having abdominal pain.Blood work came out everything was ok and i was not pregnant.Week later i was stil experiancing abdominal pain and breast soreness as well as lower back pain so i went to the emergency room.The emergency room took blood work and came up that i have a pregnancy hcg level 1.The doctor told me i "might" have had a miscarriage.I am continuing to take pregnancy test in which are all comin up a faint positive.Could i still be pregnant and being that at the time i had blood work done that would have only made me a week pregnant and that is the reason my hcg count was so low?I am still having all pregnancy symtpoms.
