If you mean 7 days after a day 3 transfer, I'd say YES!!!

That seems very early to test day 3s. We see lots of negatives at that point (10 days post fertilization) turn positive later. So a 14 is great news, unless maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

Thanks Ghost very much for giving me a little hope. I tested myself by myself, in my doctor's office where I work. I was ready to stick A NEEDLE IN MYSELF IF i COULD'T FIND ANYBODY TO DO IT. :lol: I know it was too early to test, but I am struggling with unexplained infertility for very long(7 years),so I can't wait any longer
Actually this number (HCG14)I could see on HPT First responce .. it was very faint. That is why I did my blood next day/ I hope it was not my trigger shot that what it was showing it my blood. :shock:

14 seems high for residual hCG at this point. Common is less than 5, more like 2. You are about six half-lives post injection, so the peak level can be divided by 64 (2 to the sixth power). Typical serum levels after injection are in the 100-200 range, 300 tops. Divide by 64, and you are well under 14. Typically less than 5.

10,000 is the usual dose. I was talking about serum concentrations afterwards.
