hcg blood test negative ? Posted: 09-26-03 23:56pm
Hi ! My period is due 28-29 sept. I had
unprotected sex 13 sept and used the
withdrawl method. I'm sooooooo worried
that i'm pregnant and can't stop thinking
! I'm stressed out!
I took hcg blood test (which shows exact
amount of hcg in blood) on 22 sept and
that was almost 9 days after intercourse
and at the same time one week before the
period is due. The test found ( hcg < 1 )
and the result was negative. Maybe I took
the test early.
Tommorrow i'll take another hcg blood
test. I need to stop worrying and feel
relief !!!!!!
*** here's my question ****
if the test that i'll take tommorow didn't
detect any hcg in blood as the test
before, does this mean for * sure * that
i'm " not pregnant" and still my period is
due after 2-3 days ?
Yes - or - no ?? What do you all think ??
Any advice/opinion are very appreciated
asap !!!!!

Possible Pregnancy Posted: 09-27-03 02:07am
Dear unhappy,
I don't want to alarm you as you don't
sound very enthusiastic about the
possibility of being pregnant, but the
fact is you did have sex on the day that
you would have been most fertile. You did
take both pregnancy tests too early. If
you wait until at least a couple of days
after your period is due you should get a
more accurate reading as the hcg levels
just wouldn't have been there when you
tested. If you go to your doctor for a
blood test, they are far more accurate
than home ones.
