well my last period was nov.15 and ive taken 4 hpt's and all came up negative. this morning i went in for the blood test and just got my results back and she said "pretty much negative" but ive been having pregnancy symptoms.. Frequent urination, Boobs growing and tenderness, food cravings, pressure in abdomen, tired alot, very irritable. but anyways.. i dont know that i really believe my results, and i think maybe i just have very low hcG so shes telling me its negative. cuz i have no idea what else would make me have all those symptoms and skip my period. and i dont wanna be halfway or more into my pregnancy before i find out.. HELP.

Why would she say "pretty much negative"? Why didn't she tell you what else could be causing your symptoms? Is "she" your doctor"

why do people noy start their own threads, that really irks me

other then that, stress or illness can delay a period and a delayed period can make you think your pregnant and your mind can cause physical symptoms

that is if you arent pregnant, i would assume you arent but since she said "pretty much" i dont know

on a side note i also havnt had a period since nov 15, and have had 2 neg tests so far

false negatives are extremely rare

99.9999999999% youre not pregnant
just because your "having symptoms" doesnt mean your ppregnant they could be pms symptoms

even if you have very low hcg a blood test would pick it up. so if you got a neg blood test then youre not pregnant

You did not read the original post. It said this:

"so shes(the doctor) telling me its negative."

The doctor said the test was negative.

Her doctor was not confused, she said, "NOT PREGNANT."

I highly doubt your doctor sent you off with no follow up, like to retake the test or something. If he didn't, your doctor must have said it was negative, and you are not pregnant.

Missing a period happens. Trust me pregnancy isn't the only reason for a missed period. (I haven't had a period since 8-28-07) So..I know.

I'm a little concerned in the way they have handled things. Any doctor would give you a blood test. Some will even give you an ultrasound to see if there is any physical reason for a missing period (ie: cyst). Then they would write you a script for some provera/prometrium and birth control. It's odd to me that they were just like, "it's negative, good luck". Confused

The doctor said the test was negative.

first she said her doctor said pretty much, i think she just said that because she is assuming its negetive and not caring about the pretty much
