Hi again. Actually I'm not Amy, but somehow that name showed up in my form. I'm Cath, but sometimes I forget to change the names on the form. I would say go ahead and ttc if you want, and if the blood test comes back negative, then no problem, and if it comes back positive, then the level should help explain what is going on. I think it is fairly common for a doctor's test to be less sensitive than the First Response. My doctor insisted that their tests were more sensitive than any home test, but when I asked the lab, they said it tested at 50-75. So go figure. Good luck, whichever direction this goes.
