As long as you're pregnant , it can be detected through out pregnancy but with decreasing titer. However, with our present pregnancy test packs, it's more sensitive and it can detect even minute amounts. Why you're asking?

you still carry enough HGC hormone to show up in a test. The hormone continually doubles from the time of conception then evens out to substain pregnancy.

i was 16 weeks when i found out...couldn't believe it, but after 4 positive urine tests (different brands) and a positive blood test to be sure...well, i'd say that theory is false...but now at 32 weeks, when taking a test with a friend, i showed up as negative. the kicks in my ribs say otherwise.

It does decrease but you can still detect it. Have you taken a test and its came back negitive?

Go to a doctor and get tested if you are worried. Of course it will show up on a test if you are pregnant.
