Help, Please.... Two Pos Hpt, One Neg Qual Blood Test Posted: 07-14-04 10:52am
Ok.... So I am soooooooo confused and
really would love some outside input.
Four days ago, I took a hpt and it was
faintly positive, I had to show it to
several friends to be sure I wasn't seeing
things. So the next morning I took
another hpt, with the same outcome. I was
still confused, and decided to go to my
doctor he ordered a qualitive blood serum
test, and it was negative. I don't get
how two hpt can be false positive. I
follow the directions to the t. Someone
told me that a qualitive blood test, only
gives a yes or a no, and if the amount of
hcg found is less then a certain amount
they have to give you a negative. I don't
know hopefully someone out there can help.

Faint Hpt Result Posted: 07-14-04 11:10am
I took a hpt test and it was negative. 5
days later, my friend had me take another
one and it was very faint showing
positive. We kept looking at the test to
make sure we were really seeing it. I am
now 26 weeks along in my pregnancy! I
would wait another week and try another
hpt. I used ept, it's always been good.
I have 3 children and one on the way. It
is true that they measure the hormone
levels, and yours may still be too low for
some tests to detect. Alot of doctors now
use hpt instead of blood tests, so keep
that in mind. I'm no expert, but I
certainly wouldn't dismiss it at this
point. As a matter of fact, my doctors
have always done the urine test for all
four of my pregnancies, never a blood
test. If you're anxious, try another
doctors office.
