Even More Confused. Help! Posted: 08-01-07 08:29am
Has anyone have this happen?? I have had 3
positive hpts and a neg blood test...
The hpts were positive on wed 7/25 and
thurs 7/26. Blood test came back neg the
next day 7/27.
I took a digital ept today 8/1 and it was
positive. Could clomid be giving me false
positives????

Clomid does not give you false positives.
Do you know what kind of blood test you
got? There are two different kind of beta
tests. One is a yes/no beta and the other
gives a number. Anything over 5 pregnant,
under 5 not pregnant. The yes/no beta
will only register pregnant above 25, and
if that is the test they did, then you may
not have had a high enough level yet. I
would call the drs office and ask what
kind of test they did and what the number
was.
Are your hpts getting darker? No af yet?

That is great! I know that the digitals
are less sensitive, when I had my low beta
last month I always got "not pregnant" on
the digitals. It is also possible that
you had a low initial beta (under 25) and
the doctor read it as a negative. I will
be saying a prayer for you. Keep us
posted!

I definitely think you are actually
pregnant. What kind of test did you use
first? One thing I did to see if the my
hcg was rising was keep taking the line
tests to see if they got any darker.

I took 2 from the $ store that cost $4.
And the one i took today was an ept for
like $20. I'll let ya know tomorrow what
they say at this drs office. I am taking
the hpt with me so i can shoe them.

I don't blame you. Maybe your office reads
under 20 as not pregnant. That's very
possible. Also, do you know if they did a
qualitative or a quantitative? A
quantitative would have told exactly what
you have in your system. Qualitative is
just a yes or no.
