Is it possible to be pregnant and have low hcg levels that doesnt show on a pregnancy test?

Yes, it is possible to be pregnant and have low hCG levels that do not show up on a pregnancy test. This is because pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the urine, and the levels of hCG vary from woman to woman and can take time to build up in the early stages of pregnancy.

A pregnancy test may not be able to detect a pregnancy until the hCG levels in the urine reach a certain threshold, which can vary depending on the sensitivity of the test. Some pregnancy tests are more sensitive than others and can detect lower levels of hCG. If you are concerned that you may be pregnant but have a negative pregnancy test, you may want to repeat the test in a few days or consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

In some cases, a blood test may be necessary to detect low levels of hCG and confirm a pregnancy. A blood test can measure the exact levels of hCG in the blood and can be more sensitive than a urine pregnancy test. If you are experiencing symptoms of pregnancy or believe you may be pregnant, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and confirmation.
