Q: Help
asked by: blue1234 on November 4th, 2004

I am a bit confused so any help would be appreciated!!

My husband and I tried to conceive a couple weeks ago. I know that I was near ovulating so it was very likely to get pregnant at that time.
I have been anxoius to know but I haven't missed a period yet. I am supposed to start my period in 2 days. I have normal pms cramps and breast tenderness.
I took some hpt(s) in the past two days and this is what has happend.
Two days ago I had two positives. The next day I had 3 positives but the lines were very faint progressivly with each test. Last night I had a negative and this morning I had a negative. I am very, very confused. I thought that I was pregnant because I was feeling light headed and a bit sick to my stomach. I don't know how you can have so many positives and then two negatives in a row? So if anyone has any insight, please let me know.
Thanks.

I would suggest taking a blood test because I am late for my period too and I have all the signs...Headaches, tiredness, cramping, breast tenderness, etc., and I took a hpt and it came back negative.

Definitely either get a blood test done or just go to a doctor. If you got even just one positive test you are more than likely pregnant because there arent false positive tests. They detect the hormone only present when you are pregnant.

Thanks.

I was going to go next week after I missed my period. I talked to a nurse yesterday and that is what she said to do but that was before I had a negative test.
I am very nervous.

Well I have had that happen before too.

Here is the deal in most cases;

hpt's are so sensitive now days that they can detect hcg levels when they are very low some even around 20. So a lot of time women will test even before their period is due and detect the hormone and yes you are pregnant in a sense but sometimes it's either only a chemical pregnancy or the egg never completely implants etc. Most women if they do not test never know that they were pregnant and they will go on to have their period and it will just be a little heavier than normal with maybe more severe symptoms than you would have normally.

However there could be a # of other factors...

Did you test the saem time each day? Morning urine is best.

Are you on amy medication that could interfear with the test???

Well good luck and I hope it all works out the way you want. Keep us posted!!!! :d

Well, did you end up being pregnant? Or was it a chemical pregnancy for you?
I don't take any meds. The only thing that I have taken is progesterone pills that my doc gave me.
Can exercise have anything to do with this? I have been exercising on my elliptical machine. But I have been doing that for months so I thought it really wouldn't hurt if it was something that your body was used to.

Thanks for all replies.

It was just a chemical pregnancy, unfortuantly. No I don't think exercise would have anything to do with it. I would suggest going to the doc and get that blood test!!! Good luck hun!!!
