So yesterday I went to doc and he gave me a quantitative blood test which came back at 1 and he said that meant my 20 positive FRER's were all wrong! Especially because it took me 32 days from the last time I had sex to get a positive in the first place(which he said was impossible). Which would put me a 8 weeks from LMP right now. Well here I am the next day I had a positive last night (which I had 2 other ppl look at and confirm) and one more this morning. So whats up is he wrong, do labs make mistakes, or are the now 22 FRER's wrong? Has anyone had this happen, what was the outcome? He also gave me an ultra sound that a nurse who has no training preformed (the ultra sound tech wasn't there that day and they really only have the machine which is ancient for women who are further along) anyways is was inconclusive because my bladder was empty. Then he later referred to it as neg. (which it technically wasn't) just to further his agenda that I wasn't pregnant!
Oh and I haven't miscarried no pain or bleeding, and I have almost every symptom of pregnancy. My veins are huge, my breasts are sore to the touch, I get headaches (very abnormal for me), fatigue, my bbt has stayed elevated, my abdomen has gotten noticeably larger (maybe just bloating), no period, positive test ( although they go back and forth between dark and faint), nipples darker, and I even have a line from my belly button to my pubic bone. If my symptoms were caused by something else I could understand but all of them together shortly after unprotected sex around the time I should have ovulated... thats just too much of a coincidence.

Here is what I am going through at this very moment.
I would definitely go somewhere else for a BT. They can be wrong too!
If you got a positive on many hpt's ... I'd get another BT done elsewhere!
It also sounds to me like you are having a chemical pregnancy. However, I'd also like to clarify what one poster said to you:
"It sounds like to me that you are wanting to be pregnant so bad that you're completely disregarding the facts (what the doctors believe). And that can lead to a chemical pregnancy, which is why you've got all the pregnancy symptoms that you have (this actually happens to some people)."
Just wanting to have a baby so bad and disregarding what docs are saying does NOT lead to having a chemical pregnancy...chemical pregnancies are real pregnancies where the cells stop dividing and hence stop producing increasing levels of HCG very early in the pregnancy. It sounds like you had fertilization of an egg, it probably implanted for a day or two, started dividing, but then stopped for some reason. The HCG levels would be detected on home tests, but then later when you get a quantitative blood test, the levels are low or even 0. The one thing that is confusing me is that bleeding should accompany a chemical pregnancy. I just had one last cycle, got a + on two HPTs two days before my beta, then my beta was 8. Two days after that another beta was done and it was back to 0, and a day later I bled. Was a bit heavier and gooier than a normal AF and all-in-all I was 4 - 5 days late (took the HPT when I expected AF).
My advice would be to get another HCG done to confirm the first one. Another question - are all your HPTs dark positives, or faint positives?

I just wanted to second what pp posted stated about the above statement being untrue. Maybe the poster is confusing chemical pregnancy with hysterical pregnany? That is a condition in which someone really wants to be pregnant or is so terrified of the possibility that they develop pregnancy symptoms.
I'd say go to another doctor.
You really need to go have another blood test done.
I don't know if you've gone back to the doctor's or not yet, but I would also suggest having your blood checked again.
