Thankyou Dr M,
I understand that I am probably nit picking :o) but I am very worried of
having another loss. Am I correct in thinking that a 25miu test will
show up 25miu as a very faint line as it measures for at least that
much? therefore a deeper line would indictae more hcg?
Iunderstand that there are a lot of factors that affect the
concentration in the urine. I would appreciate your answer.
Thankyou
