hey ladies baby dust to all that are tryin to have babies my question is what should the HCG level be for the hpt to detect if your pregnant and what can cause you to have a low HCG level.I havent really been having any pregnancy symtoms just a little nausous everyday with my first child having being nausous every morning was the only sign that i had and the fact that i missed my period. Im only curious now because my fam is very supersticous when it comes to the dream about fish which my grannny had and everyone is pointing the finger at me so someones pregant i also notice that stray cats keep wondering around my back yard a friend told me that cats can sense somethin about pregnant women. just when i start to lose weight i would end up pregnant dont get me wrong it would be a blessing but im in no hurry to find out every other time has been false alarms so guess ill just wait it out.
