surgery

[happygirl12]

so I missed my period May 20th and I had eye surgery May 21 (I was one day late)  and they took my blood for pregnancy test and it came out negative. 8 days later I still hadn't got my period so I took a test at home and it was positive. I'm curious why it came out negative? I was only 3 weeks so I'm guessing the hcg level wasn't in my system yet but 6/7 days later it was? it's confusing!

hCG doubles every 48 hours, so 6-7 days later would make a HUGE difference. The levels were probably just too low to detect at first.
