Hi I just have a quick question. My husband and I have been trying to concieve since august. On October 8th I thought I got my wish. I got a BFP on a digital and on a dollar tree test late that night. I woke up the next morning and was horrified when I started my period. I took another test and it was now negative. So I went to the Dr. who said I was never pregnant because my hormone levels would not have dropped that fast over night. She made me feel so stupid for thinking i was pregnant....But i asked for a blood test anyways. The next day they called and said my HCG was 10 which means I was pregnant but the hormones were so low it was obvious i had miscarried. I never followed up on that to make sure my HCG went all the way back down, but assumed it had since i was having reg. periods. Well I moved on and we are still trying, and no BFP'S but all of a sudden withn the past week I keep feeling fluttering periodically but all over in my stomach. I am worried that either my organs are having a party without my permission or something weird is going on. Is it possible to be pregnant and never get BFP on an HPT?
Thanks,
Kadence

No, I doubt you would be pregnant if you never got a positive test. Your HCG levels double every 2-3 days early in pregnancy. They can get to values as high as a couple hundred thousand by 8-10 weeks. A pregnancy test measures from 20-100, so it should pick it up.
