How long does it take to have HCG in urine?

[copperfieldcanary]

I had a mc in May and we are trying to concieve? I have had spotting in between periods and then normal periods so it is hard to say when my last period was. I did a ptest today and it was totally negative. Not even the faintest line. Any chance i could be pregnant or is it just wishful thinking. I have a 2.5 year old and i get asked at least 2wice a day when i am going to have another one. I wish people wouldn't ask you that!

Hi copperfieldcanary - depends on when your last 'proper period' was. Have you been keeping track? It took us 3 - 4 months following a m/c to conceive. I don't wan to get your hopes up but it is possible to get a false negative, if you are having any other symptoms appart from missing period you could wait and test again in 7 days if period has not arrived or book an appointment with the gp and ask if they could screen a blood sample for HCG.

It is frustrating when you get asked all the time as well as upsetting if you have experienced m/c.
