Q: Negative Blood Test But Pregnant? Help!

Ok, I am sure that there are plenty of posts about this but I can't find any so i'm gonna start a new one cause i've seen plenty of people (including myself) wondering about this... Is it possible to get a blood test soon after you are late and have it be negative but still be pregnant? Can you produce hcg much slower than some? When do you completely trust the blood test? And for you pregnant women, how long did it take you to get a pos.? (sorry this is so long!)

My blood test was not positive until 9 weeks! Some women do produe hcg slower and some levels are so low they are difficult to detect. However the majority of the time they are accurate. Just wait it out and keep requesting blood work from your doctor. In fact you could have an ultrasound done which would detect an early pregnancy

Thanks for the post. I'll keep my fingers crossed. How likely is it that a blood test done when only 2 days late is gonna be accurate?

My blood test came back neg. A few times. Finally when I was showing at 5 months it came back as pos. Weird huh? Then wen I went to the er one night I was almost 6 months pregnant and my blood test said I was 6 weeks pregnant. My baby is fine now, and my hgc levels are "normal" now but it sure was weird in the begining!!

First of all congrats to darling. The only advice is if it not pos and you feel preggers act like you are it is better to be safe than sorry and in two weeks check again or get an ultrasound

Lol! Well I stood on my head for a long time after every time but I just....Feel pregnant. Although my last pregnancy was 6 years ago you just know the feeling....Then again I might be wrong but my breasts are extremely sore (which they never are) and i've had cramping. Not sure just speculating! I'm really hoping for a big sign!!!!

Yall are crazy good luck I hope your blood test brings positive results. You know after my miscarriage I thought I wouldnt be able to come back on the forum to hear about other people being pregnant but its the exact opposite. I love to read the post they make me smile Smile. I know the reason I had my miscarriage it wasnt meant to be but I know someday I will have beautiful healthy children.

I've decided i'm gonna take a test in two weeks again. I really hope i'm pregnant. My fiance has been so cute. He's convinced i'm preggers so he's done all the housework and he's been making me food all the time. It's so sweet. If i'm not preggers I won't get as much special treatment. Sad hahaha

i had that. I totally felt pregnant. But all my tests were saying no. Then about 2 days before I was gonna go in for my blood test, I miscarried... I knew it all along that I was pregnant, but no one believed me. It was definitely hard. Good luck.

Im going through the same thing right now.All the tests point to no but all the symptoms and the way I feel point to yes.All I can do is wait to see what happens at time for my next period and pray that I get some results.Good luck to all of you!!!Maybe my patience can hold out another 3 weeks or so.
