I just wanted to know how common false
negatives are ? I have taken several hpts
and they all came up negative . I have
had a very regular cycle for the past 11
years , between 29 and 31 days, never
skipping a whole month except when I was
pregnant with my daughter. My last cycle
was 7/13/04 and now I am on cycle day 46
and counting. I went to the hospital a
few nights ago due to concerns but they
did a urine sample and it came back
negative also but no blood t est have been
done. I have had several signs of
pregnacy but no confermation yet. Will
some one please help me understand what is
going on? Any comments will be of help.
Thanks to all you that reply.
Catherine

Hey your in the same boat as me. I know
i'm pregnant, but i'm still waiting for a
positive test result. Maybe check out
the poll I put up and then you can get an
idea of how other people are.

Don't worry! I will probably post a very
noticable forum when I find out.

Go to the doctor for a blood test. Thats
the most accurate thing you can do.

False negatives are very common,
false positives are like hens teeth!

Definitely get a blood test!
I went to the dr last thursday for a
suspected bladder infection, my period was
due on sunday so the dr asked if I wanted
to do a blood test since I was going to
the lab anyway and of course I said yes
i got the results saturday, the day before
my period was due, negative for infection
and positive for pregnancy
but I really wanted to see the two lines
on an hpt (seems to make it more real) so
I took one sunday am, first morning
urine...And it was negative!!
So definitely get a blood test. I'm going
to try my other hpt tomorrow morning, just
to see if it finally shows up, i'll let
you know

Maybe wait 2 or 3 days instead of 1 so you
dont wind up wasting the test you know?
