COULD I HAVE BEEN PREGNANT
| Tue, 07-04-2006 - 9:06pm |
I am hoping someone can give me some answers because I am really consfused. Okay, so I took an at home pregnancy test on June 24th and it came out positive. I then took another one on June 27th, positive again. And just to be sure I went to a local clinic and they performed a urine pregnancy test too and it came out positive. I know the conception date would have been June 10th, so I knew I was early. On July 1st I had been having severe cramping for a few days and then I started bleeding so I went to the emergency room and I got the shock of a lifetime. They took a blood pregnancy test and my HCG was only a 4 and he said that what I was experience was probably a period not a miscarriage and that I was probably never pregnant. I am confused because not one but three urine tests came out positive. I truly believe I may have been pregnant. Does anyone know any causes for this?

Hi,
It does sound like you were, just for a short time. It's what's called a chemical pregnancy. Because they come and go so quickly, ya miss them mostly unless your testing early.

It's...TWINS!
Hi, I agree w/what you're saying and am interested in hearing what your OBGYN tells you. I had something similar happen to me in May of last year. Having been pg before (my daughter is 8 now), I knew what it felt like to be pregnant. I was not trying then either so I know I didn't imagine all the exhaustedness and fire shooting nipples. Anyway, my period ran late a few days too and then light for a day and by the the time I got a bloodtest was told I never was pregnant and the OBGYN looked at me like I had 3 heads.
I unfortunately am having some strange issues again and now am in the same boat, pg tests say negative, guts and boobs say otherwise. Extremely weird period. I have an appt on Monday but don't expect to ever figure out what the problem is.
Good luck to you. I feel for you as I understand what you're going thru. I've given up talking to anyone about it as they look at me like I'm looking for something that's not there and I don't honestly necessarily want to be pregnant. If it happens my husband and I are happy w/it and it is a blessing. If not, we're not out there trying to make it happen. But something is definitely going on and the more that I read online it seems we get pregnant more than we know (or Dr's are willing to admit) and they "fall off" somewhere along the way, for lack of a better term. For whatever reason I don't understand why the Dr's won't just acknowledge this as I think more women would understand it and accept it instead of feeling confused and a loss.
Keep us posted.
