False Negatives - Did I take Pregnancy Test Too Early? Posted: 10-25-07 23:09pm
I was on the pill and finished a pack and
didn't start again. Had a period after I
finished the pills. I started noticing a
white discharge the week after I had my
last period which I now know was cervical
mucus, a sign of ovulaiton. I had
unprotected sex on the 6th and expected my
period on the 14th. My period hasn't come
and I think I could be pregnant. When I
had stopped the pill before my periods
returned normal and I have never been late
for any peroid that I've ever had.
I went to the doctor last week for
tonisllitis and they gave me a preg test,
it came out negative. But I'm thinking
that could have been too early. I was told
I have to wait another week to know for
sure. But I wanted to know has this
happened to anyone? I know there's a
possiblity of pregnancy, but the waiting
is driving me nuts. I've been told that I
might not know for certain until I'm
almost a month late, does any of this
sound normal? Any advice is
welcomed...thanks!

yes you could easily get a false negative
as it could've been soon to test. you
might not have enough of the pregnancy
hormone in your system at the moment. did
you want to get pregnant?

I wasn't trying to get pregnant but I knew
it could be possible. I think if would be
great it I was, I just wish I knew
something for sure.

the only way to know for sure is stay calm
and test again in 2 weeks
