Negative Blood Test With Positive Symptoms Am I Loosing It??
Posted: 07-30-07 14:15pm

Crying
or Very sad Confused Question
Ok so here is my story. I am 25 not ttc on Ortho Evra birth control have recieved 3 negative urine tests and 1 negative blood test. I still have symptoms though. (headaches, breast changes, nausea, bloating, mood swings, and vomiting.)

The first thing I noticed was that changing diapers made me feel sick. I have been working in childcare for years with no problems. (my sense of smell has increase - litter box, food, and other random smells.)

My period was a little late, but I wasn't too concerned until I threw up. -The next morning I was bleeding- I thought it was my period. (It lasted about 5 days instead of 7 and I didn't have regular cramps.)

I took a pregnancy test. Probably too early it was negative. I made a Dr. apt anyways just in case because I was also crying a lot for reason. I dicovered at this point that I messed up the patch. I began the patch free week to early.

The blood test came back negative too. (She wants to retest in a couple of weeks, just in case.)

I am still really moody, crying a lot, and throwing up every night. I took another hpt today. Once again negative. I am going to take the blood test again, but I have to wait.

Has anyone else had negative blood tests and been pregnant, or could the mess up with my BC have cause a hormonal imbalance? How long to those last. I really feel like I am going crazy. Any advice would be helpful. I am arranging an appointment with an OBGYN.

If you already had your period, odds are that you are not pregnant. The hormones in the patch could be giving you all of those symptoms, even the shorter period. How long have you been on the patch. It can take up to three months for your body to adjust to a certain hormonal birth control.

I Have Been On the Patch For Over a Year

I haven't had any problems with the patch so far. Maybe since I took the patch off a week early, I threw off my system or something. As far as the period, I am not sure it was a period.

It was more brown colored; it was shorter. I thought it was a couple days late, but it was actually about a week early because I started my patch off week at the wrong time.

Sounds hormonal. Blood tests are not false. Coupled with a negative hpt, you can expect not to be pregnant.
