Ever HPT negative, but still pregnant

Has anyone ever had a negative HPT, but then bloodwork was postitive? I'm a week 9 days late, two negative HPT's and now the doctor wants bloodwork. Is there even a slight chance that I could be pregnant? I really hope so.

Most definately...Sometimes it takes a while in some women for the HCG to be strong enought for the HPT to pick it up. I would definately have the bloodtest done. Let us know how it goes. I am going in about an hour to get the results from mine....5 days past AF

I'm 2 weeks late, still no positive result. Had blood work today as had kidney probs in past. My nurse has told me if you've ever had kidney probs that may be why a urine test is not detecting it.

The way she explained it to me was imagine your blood filling with HCG, when this gets to much it is cleared and distibuted from your sysem via your kidneys and urine, if ya kidneys arent doing their prooper job this would mean no detection.

Fingers crossed for us all!

I am so glad this subject came up and everyone responded. I was 5 days late for my AF today. I've never been this late before! I took 2 HPT both were negative. I thought it might be because I got the cheap $1.00 ones. LOL But I don't know. Can you be pregnant and not have any symptoms for the first couple of months or so. All I've been experiening is very mild nasciousness(sp?) very very rarely, bloating, and (sorry ->) diarreah. I don't know what to think. Should I test again later? What do you guys think? :-D Good luck to everyone!

I am having the exact same symptoms. I'm having bloodwork sometime this week. I want to believe because I am so late, that its a good thing....but at the same time I don't want to get my hopes up.

I'm having same symtpoms also, except, AF showed, a day late (the first day I just spotted) so we tested on Saturday morning and it was negative, probably too early to test, now AF is almost over, a day early, and whole AF was ir-regular, symptoms still there, bloating, light headed dizzy, lower abdomen pains, back pains (that could be mixed in with a back injury I got a few weeks ago) and last night I felt a little nausea coming on and this morning still same thing....don't know what to do...testing, when? Or not pregnant, :( than what's up?

I"m not going to test again. I'm going to try and be patient and just wait for bloodwork results. It's so hard to be patient.

Hey Sweetchic 26,

I realize I didn't respond to your whole question.."can you be pregnant and not have any symptoms?" I have heard of plenty of people who have had no symptoms, or slight symptoms. I knew one lady who didn't know she was pregnant for five months. She thought the reason she kept missing her period was because of all the stress in her life. LOL.

I was pregnant in January (miscarried at around 6 weeks) but I had no idea either. I didn't feel any different at all.

So have any of you had recent news...changes....results? I just had bloodwork done about 30 minutes ago. I should know by this afternoon. Today I am 2 weeks late.

Good luck to everyone!

I have a friend that has never been able to take a hpt. She is on her third pregnancy now and every time she has tested negative to a hpt. She always has to have blood work done. I went 5 months though without a period once and wasn't pregnant. Are you having symptoms? By now, I would definately think you breasts would be sore, nausea, tired... Those would answer the question pretty well.
