OK.........I just posted that my blood test came back negative. But, my doctor's office JUST called me back and my doctor is NOT convinced by the test. He thinks I still really may be pregnant!!!!!!! And, told me to wait another week, stop drinking ALL the water I drink ( not stop, but I drink more than the average person ) and do another hpt in one week! My emotions are ALL over the place today!!!!! First, my hopes were up, praying I was pregnant.......then, I got the news that the blood test was negative and I was bummed......NOW, I have hope again.....but, again, I'm trying to not get my hopes up TOO high. I'm just wondering if others have had anything like this happen???? I thought once the blood test said NO, that was it. Many thanks to all on the boards!!! I truly appreciate your help, support and information! :) Missy

I hope you get this !There were so many posts ! I had this happen to me . I had a ++ test went for blood and they said -- ( this was on a friday) by sunday I still felt pg and tested and it was +++ so i called the office monday morn and they said OMG we have made a mistake ! My hcg was a 5.3 ( around the time af was due)and is a +++ but they said -- since I had a ++ test before this because they was thinking it was a chemical pg ! They brought me back in and drew blood this was a few days AFTER af was late and sure enough the hcg was rising ! Well the story goes on to say I had a baby girl Jan 2,2002 !


Goodluck I hope the same thing happens to you ! !!

Hi All :)

Well, after VERY little sleep, I finally couldn't take it anymore and got up early to take my hpt. I'm now totally baffled. For the first time in 53 days ( normal cycle is 35 )I had a little brown spotting this morning. So, I'm wondering IS this AF or what??? THEN, with my hpt, I took an EPT....if you're pg you're supposed to get a line in both windows. It finally showed a VERY faint line in the control window....barely showed that. What is up with that??? I know I've been having tons of symptoms and my doctor thinks my hcg levels are just too low, but now I'm wondering if this brown spotting could be an early miscarriage or just a very late AF....I have no clue! Any ideas???

I'm going to call my doctor today and tell him about the funky test and the light brown spotting and see what he thinks. I was hoping I'd get a big ole positive today, so when I discovered the brown spotting my first thought was...."Ohhhh great!" UGH

My doctor said he's had patients who've tested negative with both hpt's and blood tests and that a pregnancy was only determined with the ultrasound. I also know you can bleed or have your periods while you're pregnant. My mom tested negative and had bleeding the entire time she was pg with one of my sisters. I was prepared for this morning's test to not show anything and to have to proceed with either another blood test or the ultrasound. But, the brown spotting throws a kink into that, I think. Maybe not, but it sure seems ODD to say the least. I mean if I had a positive test and brown spotting, that'd be one thing. But, still a negative and now brown spotting. That doesn't sound good to me. :(

I'll post this under a new heading, too.....Funky Test and Brown Spotting. :(

Thanks so much for all the prayers and positive wishes. I wish I knew what was going on with me!!! :)Missy

Hey Jamie :)

I know exactly what you're going through!!!! I have NO clue what's up with either of us! My doctor STILL thinks I may be pg. He's referred me to another doctor for a second opinion and to see what's going on with me. I talked with that doctor's nurse and she basically said what my doctor's been saying.....that I'm having all the classic signs of pregnancy. She did say that I shouldn't be concerned about the spotting because a lot of women do that. Unless something changes, I can't get into their office until next monday. She told me that unless the spotting changes into more of a typical period, to assume I might be pregnant. Soooo, if I were you I'd check with your doctor and see what he/she thinks.

I'm going to TRY to chill on this and not spend the next week worrying. I'm pretty much prepared for anything.....I pray I am pg and that all's fine and if I'm not, I just need to get whatever's "off" with my cycle fixed!

I'll let ya know if anything changes. Lemme know how you are. Just based on what my doctor told me, having spotting or even bleeding does not necessarily mean you're not pg. Have you talked with your doctor about your bleeding? Sure sounds odd to me. UGH.....isn't this frustrating?!?!?!?!??!?

Take care of yourself and lemme know how you are. More soon.....:) Missy

So I finally got the call from the doctor. Apparently everything is fine. She said the hcg test was negative-but she didn't give me the actual count. I should have asked. Uterus and ovaries normal size. The ultrasound only took a couple of minutes and I didn't get to watch until the end because I didn't know there was a screen up on the wall. But I did see her snap pictures of my ovaries. Hormones/thyroid normal. No major cysts or hormone imbalance to cause pregnancy symptoms... I'd so hoped that if it all came out that I wasn't pregnant that something like that would at least explain my symptoms. I'm so confused. why have my bbs hurt for so long? And everything else. My BBT is still high fer chrissakes. These symptoms mostly started before I even came up with the idea that they could be related to being pregnant.

So confused.

Sorry about your negative test missy. I still may stick to this board for a while because I want to see what happens with all you guys.

And BTW, I have no faith in those HPTs any more. They say I am not pregnant, so that means I got 2 false positives out of about 10 total tests. One was CBE and one was a cheapy store brand. That doesn't sound like extremely rare to me.

Hi Missy! I am sorry things didn't go the way you wanted it to today. I was so hoping the waiting game would be over for you. Hopefully your doctor can figure this thing out for you and give you some peace of mind. I go to the doctor on Thursday to take a blood test, so we will see how that goes. More waiting, ugh!! I'm continually praying for + results for all. Keep me posted and I will do the same.

Best Wishes!

Robin
