Please Help with pregnancy test

Hi everyone,

I am feeling very down. I was at my ob/gyn yesterday who ran a beta pregnancy blood test yesterday when I was 7dpo.(I was there for some fertility tests) Today I got the results and they were negative. I am so upset. Do you think that 7 dpo was to early to show if I was pregnant or should I just accept the results and move on to the next cycle? Every month is getting harder and harder.

Thank you all so much for any advise or help.

I'm not sure but I think implantation can take place later for some people. If, say for example, implantation didn't happen until 7dpo then your body hasn't had time to produce enough hsg for a test to show pg. I would be feeling down if that happened to me, too, but don't give up hope yet. It's not over 'til it's over. Some of those babies are just slower to implant and some women don't show positive pg tests until well after AF was due.

Sending you positive implantation vibes+++++++++++

I once heard that a blood test can begin to detect the pg hormone at about 8 dpo. With #1, I had a bood test at about 13 DPO (HPT still neg) and the level was still low. I know it must be disappointing to see something that is supposedly so accurate, but there is still hope. Hang in there!

with #1 I went in at 11 DPO and had blood test. Dr. told me after looking at the results that I had probably mc because levels were so low. THen he jokingly said ..."or you're like a day pregnant." I went back a few days later for a follow up I was just as pg as could be...soaring hcg levels. I had just implanted late.

You know when I was pregnant with my second baby my blood test done at 7dpo came back negative, but my pgt came back positive. I took my pgt at about 2 weeks to 21 dpo. I hope this helps. I took clomid this cycle but I didn't let the Dr. do a blood test this time because of what happened last time. I am just biting my nails for about another 10 days or so. By the way the reason my blood test came back N was because I didn't have enough progesterone so I had to take supplements
