Hi There my name is T'Neal(22) and this is my first month TTC. My DH and I have been married for over a year now and decided it is time. I went off BC patches about two months ago and last month had a regular 28 day cycle. This month we started trying and I am now 3 days late. I have taken a HPT this morning and it was -, but I called my Dr. anyways and he said to come in for a blood test to be sure. That just came back -. But I seam to have some wierd symptoms this month. Normally I never get sore BB's but this time they really hurt, I also have some lower back pain that I never get. Anyways, I was wondering is it posibly to have a neg blood test and still be pg? Any advice in this would be helpful. Thanks

I can't really answer your question, but I do know that coming off bc will always change your body. Maybe your body is still adjusting..I wish I could be more help. I hope someone is able to answer your question correctly. This seems to be a very informed group of women! Good Luck!

++++++ VIBES!

Welcome to TTC T'Neal! It would depend on what kind of blood test was requested...there are two, quantitative will tell you ANY amount of hcg in your blood no matter how low the number and qualitative will give you a positive or negative depending on the amount of hcg they find. Most Drs now use the quantitative in which case no, it's not possible for it to be neg and you're preg. If you are pg-even by a couple of days there will be hcg in your system and this test will detect it. It is possible that after being off BC patch your bodies hormones are fluctuating a bit- every cycle is going to be a bit different. Progesterone will give you the sore BBS and pre-AF back cramping is not uncommon.

I suggest you call the Dr office and find out just what test it was, then you can know whether to truely expect AF or keep some hope.

GL to you!
