I'm NOT a doctor, but here's what I've been told. I believe that anything less than 25 is technically a negative result. However, most HPT tests won't register anything less than 25 (the most sensitive) and some won't register until 50 or even 100. So, if you've been getting ++ pregnancy tests then something somewhere is out of whack - either your blood test is wrong or your HPT is wrong. Don't lose hope yet though - I had a negative blood test, followed by a positive HPT and I'm now 24 weeks pregnant. Also had a bHCG test early on that came back way too high - turns out the lab made a mistake and all was normal. So hang on til tomorrow and see what today's reading was. I hope it all turns out the way you want it to.

Regards
