Can you be pregnant w/o a positive pregnancy test ? Posted: 11-18-07 10:07am
Well last month in October I skipped my
period so took 5 different test and they
came negative. The last week of October my
boyfriends condom broke when we were doing
it. I went to go buy the plan B pill (the
morning after pill) but before I took the
pill I took a pregnancy test because I
might still be pregnant from last month
but it came out negative again so it was
ok for me to take the pill. This month I
was late again with my period!!! I called
the doctor so she could see and I made the
appointment for this Nov. 19 but the
Saturday before my appointment I started
my period. I told my mom and she said that
she never knew when she was pregnant
because she never came out positive when
she took the pregnancy test. Could I be
like her? Could I still be pregnant?
Should I still go to my appointment on
Monday? Please help

If you took 5 different tests when you
missed your period and they were all
negative then you weren't pregnant.
You do not need to take a test before
taking the morning after pill as it does
not affect an exisitng pregnancy but
taking it can mess up your cycle. If you
had your period (and negative tests) then
you are not pregnant, your mum not having
positives is not common with pregnant
women as hpt's/blood tests detect hCG, a
hromone that is alwys produced during
pregnany.

I agree that taking the plan B does affect
the cycle, but home test do give false
negatives. The main reason for this is if
your hcg is lower than it should normally
be. This is not the norm though. It's
only a possibility. Chances are that you
are not pregnant. Condoms break so often;
you may want to start using a spermicide
foam with the condom.

when takein correctly a hpt will be
acurate
only few times are they false
so if they were neg after your missed
period your most likely probably NOT
pregnant
