A lady at work said her HPTs were almost always negative because she is so over weight, I think she once told me she was 250 pounds or something. I have never heard of this and I was wondering if HPT's are affected. Maybe because your body can't pick up the HGC as easily?? Anyone else heard of this??Thank you

One of my best friends is very VERY overweight and her HPT have all pick up postivies so I dont really know what your co-worker is talking about. There are probably other reasons why her tests don't communicate properly with her body but it has nothing to do with being overweight! I myself was no small model before I got pregnant and I had all 4 of my tests tell me I was pregnant and well, now I'm 17w3d so go figure! As you progress further along in your pregnancy the hcG levels taper off.
