Have A Negative Home Pregnancy Test, But Still Pregnant?

[dimples509 0]

Have any of you actually been pregnant, but had a negative home pregnancy test? My cycle was coming on like clockwork, then it stopped, I'm a month late and CRAMPING LIKE CRAZY. I finally went to te dr, and took a blood test and I'm still waiting for the results. Just wanted to know if anyone went through the same thing.

The only reason I can think of that you might have a negative home pregnancy test and still be pregnant is if you were too early for the test to detect the hcg in your urine. If you are a month late, there should be no issue with the test not detecting it. I once had a negative urine test in my OBGYN's office and turned out to actually be pregnant - it was just too early when they did the test. 4 days later I still hadn't gotten my period and just had a feeling so I bought another test and did it at home and it was SUPER positive then! Good luck - hope you get some answers soon!

yes it is possible. False positives on a home test are very very rare. But you can have false negatives for sure. It just depends on the amount of the hormone your body produces. Do you have any other signs? Breast tenderness, darkened areolas, nausea, hightened sense of smell? There are lots of natural signs. With my second child I had a positive blood test but it wasn't until I was 4 months along that the home pregnancy test actually registers as positive.

With my first pregnancy, I took THREE home test which all came back negative. A blood test is how I found I was pregnant so they can definitely read wrong.

If your pregnancy was given to you as positive by a doctor, then why are you still taking home preg tests? These may be expired or old and some just don't work right. . . if you haven't confirmed your preg with a doctor, well maybe it would be a good idea . . just my thoughts

she said she was still waiting for the results. Let's not be condescending, please.
