I just called the doctor and the bloodwork came back positive! I guess those HPT's aren't 99% accurate as they claim to be. There are so many women here who all have tested negative, and are still pregnant.

Now I'm just hoping that I can carry full term. I miscarried in January. ALways, something to be worried about.

Please let me know how you are doing. Is this your first time TTC?

I just found out that I am pregnant with my first. I am very nervous, but trying to think positive!!! My blood test was positive even before I missed my first MS. I have my first prenatal appt. next week and am hoping that my hcg level is rising daily!

JOCEY---congratulations to you...if you don't mind me asking were you 2 wks late when you did your blood test? I ask because I am 14 days late and still test -. I called a nurse and she said sometimes it can take up to 2 wks of being late when the HPT will finally show up +. She told me to take another on Monday and if it came back - to call my dr. Does that sound anything like what you went thru?

Hi Suzanne,

I had the bloodwork done yesterday, which would have made me, 1 week and 5 days late....so pretty much two weeks. The last HPT I took was over a week ago. (I wasn't allowed to buy any more HPT's, i was breaking the bank,LOL)

So your doc will let you get bloodwork if you still have AF by next Monday.....it's so far away!!!

Is this is your first time trying?

Congratualtions to you! I'm hoping that my hcg is rising right along with yours!

My first appt is next Tuesday. I am missing a faculty meeting, yikes! My principal may not be to pleased.....but OBGYN only sees pregnant women on Tuedays and Thursday! Geesh!

GOod luck! Keep me posted. I'd love to hear how you are doing!

Yes, Jocey...this is our first time trying. I got off the pill in September. So I am worried that is the cause for my symptoms, that my body is trying to adjust after 8 years of being told what to do by a pill...anyway...I can't get blood work done until I am two weeks late, so they told me to wait thru the weekend. I know what you mean about the HTP...i have given up on them....I took one when I was 6days late and it was -, haven't tested since then....Let me know what you think....Thanks

Hey thanks for replying! It's Nov 7th so I'm 12 days late now. I really don't want to have the bloodwork done, but if it comes down to it I will. I just bought another HPT tonight to test with on Sunday. Gonna try it again. If that shows negative then I guess I'll have to go to the doctor. (I HATE NEEDLES -oh no) LOL I'll keep ya posted. Keep us posted too!

Hey! I'm 12 days late and still testing negative on the HPTs. I'm taking my next one on Sunday (2 weeks.) Have you tried the HPTs? Are you having any symptoms? Just curious... ;-) Good luck!

Hey suzw34! I went off of the pills in September also. ;-) I'm 12 days late now. I've taken 4 HPTs so far. All negative. the last one I took was at 8 days late. What's going on? lol I'm testing again on Sunday. If I don't get a + and still haven't started, I'll probably get bloodwork done. Good luck!

Hey sweet chic...I have tried the HPT...I took when 6days late and it was -. That week I was having the tugging, pulling feeling in abdomen...kinda like cramps..but nothing like them...you know? Then that sunday my bb's got sore and they have been off and on that way...I have had slight nausea and my gums are swollen. Just enough symptoms to drive me crazy. If I don't get AF by monday I will test again...I think I would rather get it then test -. Are you having any sypmtoms? Best of luck to you and please keep me posted.
