Help!

I was diagnosed with PCOS last April.  Put on Paxil this past February.  I had a checkup with my family doctor on Monday where I asked him if my sore breasts, pressure in my abdomen, dizzy spells could be a side effect from the Paxil.  He looks at me like I am insane and draws blood for a qualitative pregnancy test.  I am at work just waiting for my negative result!  No!  I couldn't have it that easy.  I get an "indeterminate".  Which means I am somewhere between 5 and 25.  Luckily I had my annual pap the next day,  Wednesday.  I bring all this up with my OB.  He does my pap and sends me off for blood for a quantitative test.  I wait today for my negative results.  NO.  Couldn't be that easy.  Indeterminate AGAIN.  With a level of 8.  He says I am probably not pregnant and I am okay to take my Paxil (which my doctor told me to stop taking on Monday until we had results back).  No mention of more blood being drawn or anything.  I think I could have conceived on either the 24,25, or 26th of April which would only put me at like 11 days past conception.  My question is,  what else could be causing me to have hCG in my blood??  and don't you think another blood test should have been ordered??  It's hard not get a little excited as I have never had to go through all this for a negative result and we just kind of gave up on getting pregnant without fertility drugs...

Aren't you just the sweetest!  Believe me,  if I am,  I will be letting the world know!  :)  And what a way to look at it,  it DOES have to start somewhere!  I didn't look at it like that before.  Can I ask you though,  this pressure in what I am assuming is my uterus.. ever hear of anything like it?  The best way I can explain it is it feels like I am sucking in my belly all the time when I am not.  He also did a urine culture to rule out a bladder/UT infection but those results didn't come back today. And I don't have pain or anything while peeing.

Oh and you better let us know the result! I can't wait to hear the news!

Wow- that's a crazy story. I just want you to know that your HCG levels have to begin somewhere!!! So if you did conceive at the latest (the 26th) it can take 7-12 days for the embryo to implant and begin to excrete HCG into your bloodstream.

I would wait three more days and take a pregnancy test, at home, with First Response (the one with the lines, not the digital). It is proven to be the most sensitive test at home.

If your levels have gone up the First Response should be able to tell you within 3-5 days.
