Pregnancy Info HOME

My brother is now almost 15 years old, so she's not sure which it was. When I lost my baby I was about 12-14 weeks along, and my blood tests were negative, as well as many urine tests. Even 4 hours after loosing the baby the blood test showed the hormone level in my blood at less then 5. And that is too low for a urine test to pick up and too low for a doctor to consider a positive pregnancy result. I really feel that you know your body better then anyone else, even a doctor. Doctors rely on tests that are not 100% accurate. Mistakes are made. If you are aware of your cycle and your body, there is no reason for you not to know you are pregnant, even with negative results. But be aware that many women who have ectopic pregnancies show negative results, so be careful!

thanks for your input. did they tell your mom that the other side was blkd? im so sorry to hear about your ordeal witht he moron doctors that just go by the tetbooks as i said before. i wouldnt wish losing a child, unborn or not on my worst enemy. it ripps you heart out. every time i had to go through it it was pure torture. i apreciate the idea of the er but without insurance thatll be about 2 grand. they are even more expensive then a reg dr. im thinking of going to planned parenthood in a week and if it omes up neg and i dont start then ill have no choice but to go to the dr and eat the cost. hope theyll except payments, lol. isnt amazing that with some pregnancies the test will show before you even miss a period and others can take weeks and on rare occasion they never show positive and only alternate testing show you. i read in a medical magazine where a woman that happened to be a nurse was preg and didnt even know, no symptoms, baby hardly moved, and all tests came up neg. the one day she delivered in her bathroom. i figure if i keep freakingout about it ill go crazy so im going to stay on top of it but not stress any more than i have to. thnks again for everthing, any more advice is appreciated from you or anyone else.

I am kind of worried because i just feel really weird but my test was less than 0.5. If i was pregnant, I'd be almost 14 weeks by now. When i had sex, we used protection, but I know there's always that chance. I still get my periods but they are really light. And I'm a worrier by nature. I dont know what to think.

if you are that concerned i would ask for an ultrsound esp if you have insurance. they can look and see if there is anything to be concerned about. seeing is beleiving, it might make you feel better. worst case senerio you get some sanety

Ladies, do you know that there is a transvaginal sonogram my Dr did with me when I found out I was pregnant with my son...who is now 18 months old? I was only 6 weeks pregnant at the time. Maybe ask your Dr about that. It's an internal sonogram. I too am late (usually very regular) and tests saying negative...but I remember these symptoms from 1st pregnancy. Going to Dr soon.

My Story: As many of you know I was having BFN on all my HPT. I was having lots of the symptoms and even thought I was feeling fetal movement. I went to the ER Sunday because I was tired of waiting and spending money on HPT. They did a pelvic exam, an ultrasound and asked tons of questions. I have no cysts, no tumors but I am not pregnant. They said I more than likely have a hormonal imbalance. I do have a slight infection called vaginitis (simular to yeast infection) and those movements were simply muscle twinges. I am going to try an herbal supplement to see if I can get my periods back normal and then we have decided to TTC. I wish you all the best of luck and I urge you to see a doctor. If you are not pregnant you need to know what is wrong and if you are you need prenatal care. Please for your health and your baby's wheather it is a current baby or a future baby, just go to the dr.

Hi Shanna and Mary. The blood test was negative again. I'm seeing my gynea on the 9 September. I will have to wait till then. Will keep u guys updated. Thanks for the good wishes:)

fyi- after 14 days late, i strated, either my body is taking care of it or i was never preg. i guess ill never know, but at least my tube will be ok. thanks for the suposrt

I'm 18 and just moved a couple states away from home to where I didn't know anyone. I think I'm handling it OK, but might be stressed. I had pretty regular unprotected sex with my boyfriend before i moved, but he always withdrew. I'm in about my 3rd month of taking progestin only birth control (nor-qd tablet all) and may be experiencing side effects, but i haven't before this. My period is 10-12 days late and i have taken 3 first response early response pregnancy tests in the past 15 days. They all came up negative. I've had frequent urination in the past couple of days, but it goes away if i drink a lot of water (at least 1 liter). The week before I left to come here I had brownish-pink spotting about twice a day for around a week and a half, and nausea, both have stopped since. My periods have been late before but never this late. Other than that no symptoms, but I'm still really worried. Is it all just in my head? I'm probably going to take another one today or tomorrow and see a doctor next week.

my preiod was 11 days late then it came but very very light normaly my period is bang on time.

OK, first you need to know, progestrin only birth control is on average only about 88% effective if used properly. Also, the withdrawal method it's self is only about 50-75% effective. There is a chance you are pregnant, but you have to realize with the birth control you only have about a 12% chance of being pregnant, that added to the withdrawal makes it closer to about 7-8%. With no protection what-so-ever, you have about a 25% chance of getting pregnant. You should go to the doctor, it's your best bet to get a real answer. Good luck.

3 weeks late, took 3 test, 1st test I took 7 days late was told I took it to early, the second test took 3 weeks late came up invalid and was told to take a more expensive test, still 3 weeks late took more expensive test came up negative pg systems stomach getting bigger and can't stand anything to touch it. Confused.

Took another test today, neg again. Definately going to see the doctor this week. I can't tell whether I'm preg or this is side effects of the b/c, no other symptoms than the spotting and late per. Good luck all.

Red..Good luck to you. i'm having some weird problems myself. I had pregnancy symptoms which led me to take a HPT but it was neg. Then i went to get a blood test and it was neg. By then something should have shown because i'd be about 12 weeks then. Now I am having a real sore feeling in the area below my belly button/above my pelvic bone. It feels like its just one big bruise but its not bruised. And i'm a bit weak and nauseous now. If i am preg i'd be almost 15 weeks by now. I can't tell if i am getting bigger or not. I think my cervix is soft but i am not sure. It's frustrating.

You need to have an ultrasound to see for sure. There are medical problems, such as cysts that can cause the same type of symptoms. Cysts are generally not dangerous to you, but sometimes do require dr intervention.
Good luck.

I had a hpt to, but it was negative. Also had a blood test done and it was negative. the wierd thing is, I've had cramps a little over 2 weeks off & on. No sign of my period though. I also just got off the pill on my last period. finished the pack! My mom tells me to wait 45 days before I take a hpt. Well I'll see in to that. So far its been 33 days. If u have any answers, to help me figure this out, I'm all ears.??????
