Confused

I had a blood test done in the hospital which came back positive for pregnancy Wednesday. I took a home PT that came back negative today. My period is suppose to come Monday. I have been nauseated, tender breast, food craving etc. Im supposed to b only 3 weeks 4 days pregnant. Could the blood test been wrong?

Yup- you're pregnant! Congrats! The blood test is much more sensitive than the hpt, like Cindy said. Some women take weeks for the hpt to indicate pregnancy since it determines the growth hormone and youre still developing that given that you're not even 4 weeks yet.

Blood test can determine pregnancy way before a urine test. Most people don't get a positive on urine test until there missed period unless they take a really sensitive test
