Miscarriage Question...
Posted: 11-09-07 20:08pm

My fiancee told me she was pregnant about
6 weeks ago. We went to the Dr. about 3
weeks ago, to confirm. She came out of her
exam saying that the Dr. told her she was
about 6 weeks pregnant and had a bag of
pre-natal vitamins with her. Well, this
past week, she said she complained of
stomach pains and spotting. She said she
believed she had a miscarriage, so we went
and got a pregnancy test which came back
negative. My question is, is it possible
for this test to be negative just 2-3 days
after this bleeding began? I dont know if
Im just paranoid that she was never
pregnant to begin with. Please someone
help me, I need FACTS, thank u.

Did you go to the doctor with her? This
all sounds highly suspicious. Did she
visit the doctor when her stomach started
hurting and she began bleeding? Whenever
miscarriage is suspected the woman NEEDS
to go see the doctor.
Generally your body will hold onto the
pregnancy hormones for a week or two. A
pregnancy test will get lighter and
lighter as time goes by.
Another thing, generally you get a
prescription for pre-natal vitamins.
Doctor's don't generally hand them out.
She should have also had a 'pregnancy
confirmation' note from her doctor.
These are all common things.
Wear condoms if you want to prevent this
kind of thing from happening in the
future! Good luck!

I went with to Dr. with her the first
time, when we "confirmed" she was
pregnant, but I didnt go into the room
with her. However I was there when she
walked out with practically a shopping bag
of pre-natal vitamins (5 day samples,
including Primacare ONE). It seemed fishy
to me, I just want to know if its possible
for this to have occured. Seems like alot
of trouble to have gone through to lie,
especially the part where she had to tell
her parents. It doesnt make sense to me...

I'm curious, actually, why you would post
this question on a message board...
obviously this is nagging at you in some
way. To sign up for a message board just
to post your questions about the person
you plan to spend your life with.
Why didn't you go into the doctor's office
with her? Many fathers go to the first pre
natal appointment. Did she get an
ultrasound? When was her next appointment
date? Generally women schedule their next
appointment right then and there for,
usually, 4 weeks from then.
Another thing I'm curious about... why
when she started 'miscarrying', did the 2
of you go get another pregnancy test? Why
not go back to the doctor? In the case of
miscarriage - sometimes they get very
severe. A woman can bleed to death if
surgery isn't done. In fact, if there is
prolonged bleeding at all, the doctor will
do a D & C to remove any tissue that
hasn't yet come out. This is a necessary
procedure. A simple home pregnancy test
doesn't do this.

I dont have the answers to these
questions. Honestly Im pretty new to all
this, I just want to know if its possible.
She was about 10 weeks, and was spotting
for about 2-3 days, then we took the
pregnancy test. I'd just like to know if
this is possible.

It is unlikely. Take her to the doctor
because she needs medical attention -
especially if the spotting was 1 or 2
days. Spotting in early pregnancy can be
very common. But coupled with the negative
pregnancy test, you should be concerned.
She maybe be pregnant. It may be a
'missed' miscarriage. In which case she
needs to see a doctor!
No. You don't have to answer any of my
questions. But you already were thinking
these things or you wouldn't have come and
asked in an environment where no one knows
you.
Good luck!

We dont live together, actually we live
kinda far away, so its impossible for me
to go with her to the doctor. However, she
did say that she went to the Dr. the next
day after the "miscarriage" and he said
she had had a miscarriage, and that
everything was passing on its own and she
would be ok.
Now you say unlikely, but that still means
its possible right?

You obviously have doubts as the
credibility of her story or you wouldn't
have put miscarriage in quotation marks.
It normally takes a minimum of two blood
tests to verify a miscarriage. And a few
follow ups to check hormone levels. The
doctor needs to confirm that the hcg is
out of her system.
Would she have a reason to lie about this?

Listen to your heart. It is telling you
something or you wouldn't be asking.
I will tell you this: when you are 10
weeks pregnant, you do not spot for 1 or 2
days and have a negative pregnancy test.
You would BLEED a lot. And it would hurt
badly. Not only that, but you would be
terrified of what was happening.
Who is paying the doctor's bills? (you
don't have to TELL me) Maybe, if you were
paying them, you might see what they had
to say.

Yes. There can be hormones in your body
for weeks afterwards that cause home
pregnancy tests to come back positive.

Do you mean she has lied before without a
reason? Or that people in general don't
need a reason to lie?

Apparently he thinks something in her
story isn't adding up right.

Yankeeguy, we all know our own truths if
we listen hard enough. Just as you felt
the need to ask anonymously on a message
board if this is possible... you know in
your heart what the answers are already.

I will tell you this. When I went to the
doctor initialy because my husband and I
decided to start trying to conceive. I was
given a 7 day trial of Primacare (not One)
and a prescription for 12 months worth.
So, please do not let the fact that she
had prenatal vitamins sway your opinion.
Prenatal vitamins are not ONLY prescribed
to pregnant women.

I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and i had
to go for blood work for 3 weeks to make
sure my numbers where dropping. at 3 weeks
i still had hormones in me my number was
low but it still showed. So i think when
she took a test 3 days after the bleeding
started it still would have showed
positive

every time i've miscarried i had to go to
the hospital so i wouldnt know if just a
little spotting would provide a negative
test. i do know that once u do start
bleeding and it is confirmed that your
going to have a miscarriage that you dont
actually have one until your hcg levels
drop below 50. but at six weeks that
could happen in a couple of days.
