Test negative but still pregnant??
| Sun, 09-28-2003 - 1:23am |
Hi All-
This is the first time I've asked a question on this board. Here is my situation-I am 1 1/2 weeks late for AF and when I went on Friday to my ob/gyn she took a prelim ultrasound and said that at 5 weeks 1 day she wouldn't be able to see a forming fetus but that my uterine lining was thick enough that I could be very probably be pregnant-went so far as t say she suspected my bloodwork would come back positive and prescribed prenatal vit's.
However, the home tests I've taken have come up negative. Has this happened to anyone here? I am so anxious and still 36 hours to go til i hear from dr's office and am cautiously hopeful. I have all the symptoms, nausea, etc (that just set in the last 2 dys or so) and can't understand why more than ONE HPT would come out negative.

Thanks for any advice you can offer

Well maybe you know the answer to this if you can help me out
My friends have told me that the HPTs they have on the market now are "so good", so much more accurate than they used to be, but i always thought a blood test was the most accurate way. How much more senistive are these blood tests than the HPTs? Well I guess the minimum HCG for a HPT is 25 -i'm gussing the blood test can read as little as 5 or 10 is that the way it works??
