Re: Blood Test
Your blood test would have came up positive if you are that far along. Your blood work is more accurate than your urine. Did you get a pelvic exam done?

Blood tests measure the level of pregnancy hormones in your blood.If you have been stressing about being or not being pregnant,that can throw off your cycle.Did your doctor do a thorugh pelvic exam?If not,get one done and have a complete bloodwork-up done.This was probably not done when they did preg test.Good luck to you.Patty

Yes I did get a pelvic exam. But the thing is for my past two appointments, I haven't been seeing my regular doctor and this new doctor does not have the slightest clue. I have been reading on the internet in forums like these where this one female had a negative urine and blood test until she was 10 weeks pregnant. So there is the slight chance that it can happen. I notice that my stomach is getting bigger and he's trying to tell me that I am not pregnant. I guess I just have to go to my doctor or a new one. I have missed two periods now. So I would be going on my 10th week if I am.

Have your cycle always been regular? Also the pelvic exam would have shown that your pregnant by the enlargement of you uterus.
