She's wondering if PCOS could throw off blood work like that, or would it be accurate? I told her I knew some wonderful ladies online that might be able to help her out! =)
What do you guys think? Any first-hand knowledge on the subject?

A negative blood beta is a negative blood beta - the chance it's a false negative is slim to none if she had it done after missing a period, which led her to the doctor.
If she has PCOS it won't mess up the blood test of hCG (the pregnancy hormone).....so if she's "feeling pregnant" without a positive blood beta, she can get it done once again to confirm/verify it is negative and then work with her doctor to figure out why she has the symptoms she does.....
