Confused

Fri, 2012-09-21 20:41 — ladybug32

My Blood Pregnancy test sensitivity 25 mInternational Units/mL, and they were trying to say it was negative. I've been reading online, that 25 is postitive.  Do I need to take another home test and see if it shows up still shows up postitive, or do I need to call my OB now that I've read online that it is postitive and the paper that I got with the lab results say negative? I'm so very confused

I am not sure what you are asking. If the pregnancy test you did was positive according to the instructions then there was enough of the pregnancy hormone to make it positive. If there is a question, then most doctors will do a blood pregnancy test because it is more specific.
