Thank you for answering Marie. PAPs have all been normal, I have had negative pregnancy tests post pregnancy, the urine tests in the office have all been negative (though yesterday they said that the urine was very diluted), I am in excellent health (no previous disorders except for annovulation). I just don't. This time around seems different, though, because I tested again today (with two different brands measuring higher levels) and both were positive. I read somewhere that LH can be a factor - have you heard anything about this? Gavriella
