Is it possible to still be pregnant if you took 2 home pregnancy tests 2 weeks apart and both showed negative? I know some people dont have enough pregnancy hormone until they are over a month pregnant. With both of my sons though both of the tests I did with them showed positive a couple days before my period. I have an IUD so I havent been getting a period regularly but I do get spotting for a couple days except the past month. Has anyone had that problem of taking home tests and have them being negative only to find out that they were in fact pregnant.

yeah....kinda/sorta happened when I was pregnant the first time....We were ttc and I stopped taking the pill around thanksgiving.A few weeks later I felt pregnant but took several different tests at they came back negative-even went to the drs office for one.I went for my yearly OB/GYN appointment on dec 21 and they did one in the office and it was positive....go figure-but during all this I wasn't on any form of bc....((HUGS))

In both my pregnancies I had taken 2 different pregnancy tests, each one a week or two apart from the other and always got a negative reading and that was almost 2 weeks after missing my period so I would wait a while and try again...
Many things contribute to the levels of hormones in your urine and I know that the tests I had taken were so accurate u need not even wait till u missed a period to take them and yet they never seemed to detect HCG in my urine.....
Try an early morning sample and maybe wait a few days before u test urself again.

The last test i did was in the morning and I dont know if and when I am supposed to get my period because the IUD i have has messed up my periods.

Hi there,


Over time the Mirena IUD can actually stop your periods altogether.

I think then that the only thing left for you to do is to wait a while and redo the test. Maybe even consult with a public health nurse or someone in the medical field. Usually hospital tests are a lot more accurate than OTC ones.
I'd advise you to treat urself as pregnant until u know otherwise, so be careful with meds and alcohol.
Best of luck!

I have an appointment on december 6th to get my iud removed and go on something else so im just gonna wait until then to find out. I havent been drinking since i started feeling like this and as far as I know my meds are all safe to take.
