HCG level 120, 5th week after LMP

2021-04-28 05:02:05
Hi, I have a 28 day cycle and I am supposed to get my date on 24th April, but now its delayed by 5 days. I had been taking the pregnancy urine test for past 3 days and the kit showed no line within the 10 min window. But the pink line showed up after 30 minutes. As it is outside the window I did not consider it. But this happened thrice, so I took a beta HCG test and the level of HCG detected is 120. So I would like to know is this level of HCG bad in the 5th week(after my last LMP). I ovaluated on 7th April (I know the date because I got the follicular monitoring done this cycle). My doc suspects it to be a chemical pregnancy, and recommended the beta hcg test after 48 hours. Also though the HCG level is 120 as per beta hcg report, why the urine test fails to a show a positive line in the stipulated timeframe of 5-10 min ? Putting all this together I am really not sure what is happening.

Bhcg is positive for pregnancy but single test is not significant.. You need to repeat bhcg test after 48 hours and the titer will decide further course.
