pregnancy test ?-very confused

I am 4 days late for my period, always on time, we are trying to conceive. I took 4 home pregnancy tests and all came back positive- well went to my Dr, so they could confirm it, without a doubt in my mind it would come back positive- but it did not. What could be the explaination for this- has this ever happened to anyone, if so what was the outcome? Could 4 test at home be wrong, all different brands? Could the one strip they used at the Dr.'s have been defective- why would they not test again right then after telling them I already had several positives at home, very frustrating! I am very angry that they expect me to wait another week and then come back and test again! Should I try to get into to see a regular OB/GYN instead of going back to my regular Dr?
Thanks

you might want to try to get in to see an OB. there was someone on either this board or another board that had 6 positive hpt and 2 negative blood tests. hopefully you will have some good news. good luck.

Hello...I am sorry to hear about your frustration..it must be horrible. I heard that the dr tests are not as sensitive as the home ones. The doctor office ones detect a higher level of hcg. You probably are pg but it will take longer for the doc to detect it. I hope that helps and I hope everything works out for you. Let us know!
