I am going through my first cycle of IVF. I had 2 very good quality embryos transferred on 11/22. Over the past few days I have taken multiple hpt's that are supposed to read levels of hCG down to 40mIU/ml and all have been positive. This morning I had my first beta hcg test and the level was only 18. Since then I have taken 2 more hpt's and both are positive. How is it that the hpt's are coming up positive if they aren't supposed to detect anything below 40?:confused: I have had minimal spotting and a little bit of cramping all of which is supposed to be normal for IVF. I am going back in on Monday for another blood test but don't want to go through the weekend wondering how this could be.
