Pregnant but tests negative?
| Tue, 05-08-2007 - 12:32pm |
Hi there,
I'm on the pill (but have been known to take it late sometimes!) and my period is normally like clockwork with the exception of spotting the week before it's due. Last month my period was 3 days late so I took a hpt and it was negative. I had awful cramps and nausea too. 3 days later I took another hpt.....still neg. I went to the doctor the day I was supposed to start my Pill again and got a blood test. It was also negative. The doctor said just wait, my preiod will probably come during the month ar get a really big one when my next one's due. My next one was due 3 days ago. I've had no spotting at all, except the faintest brown tinge the other day when I wiped after urinating. I've not been under stress or changed my eating habits but I've been horribly emotional all month. I will be going to the docor if it doesn't come in a few days but until then I just wanted to ask your opinions....does anyone think I could actually be pregnant?
Thanks so much for your help.

I know stress has an effect but I really haven't been stressed.....I'm not even stressed about my period coming or not....I would be ok if I was pg, I just wouldn't want to harm the baby by continuing to take my bc pills! Even the doctor said she expected I'd get spotting all month and a bigger period for my next one.....
Thanks though, I appreciate the reply.
Hi kinky498, welcome!

I was maybe 3-4 hours late on my pill, maybe a few times. I realize even bcp isn't 100% effective but my question was really, has anyone seen a negative blood test result when the woman is actually pregnant?
Thanks so much for your reply!
There are some things that can give false positives or negatives when testing for hCG. For more about that see: http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/hcg/glance.html I hope other members will stop by and share their experiences with false hCG test results.

Thanks again for your replies. Now I'm having a tiny tiny bit of brownish spotting (I mean seriously tiny) but still no period. I know irregular periods are normal sometimes on the pill I'm just concerned because it's totally not normal for me. My periods were always regular, even prior to taking the pill, and even when going through excessive stress. It's normal for me to spot every single month prior to my period and what I have now isn't even a quarter or my usual spotting. As for other symptoms, well I'm completely exhausted all the time....and no I haven't changed my schedule or anything. I cry for no reason and my breasts have gotten bigger the last 2 months (not just my imagination....my bf keeps pointing it out, lol). They were also very sore for a while but not that bad now.
I know it's very unlikely that I'm pg but I've read about lots of cases where the blood test is negative and turned out to be wrong. I'm just concerned about continuing to take my pill even if it's a 0.000001% chance that I'm pregnant. How long do you think I should wait before going back to the doctor?
Thanks again.
Hi again hon,
Jill
Sorry, I didn't realize I left out that important info!!! I am on Alesse and have been on it for probably about 3 years. Before that I was on Tricycline. And yes my blood test was 4 weeks ago.
Thanks again.
>>yes my blood test was 4 weeks ago. <<
Then I think it's time to test again...
(((HUGS)))

Hope that helps?
And if the last time you tested was a month ago and still no period, I would think that it would be safe to take another test (or at least call, if not go to, the doc again).
