Hypothyroidism and False Negative HPT
| Mon, 08-23-2004 - 5:25pm |
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone with hypothyroid has gotten a false negative on a HPT? And is so, how long before you got a positive result?

I apologize for my ignorance, but what test are you referring to when you say HPT?

Sorry its been a long time since I've had to do one of those, 6 years anyway.
But I have a friend whos HPT never came up positive in the beginning (and she
has 3 pregnacies). I know that she is hypo now, wasn't diagnosed as being hypo
then, but I supposed she still may have been. Especially since she wasn't diagnosed
as being hypo until after she they found out she had thyroid cancer. But that's
a whole other story.
At any rate, I suppose there could be a connection. If I were you and really wanted
to be sure, call the Doc and get a blood test. If you don't have ins. or don't want
to go to your family Dr, I'm sure there is someplace you could go to get the test done.

It could be that I am annovulatory because my Levoxyl dosage is still in flux, so I have an appointment scheduled with my OB GYN to figure out what is going on. I doubt I am pregnant, but there was a little glimmer of hope there--I am 35 and would really like to finally be pregnant.
Please post if you learn anything...
