Slim Chances
The chances are very slim that you are actually indeed pregnant and the blood test comes up negative. How long have the symptoms been going on?? It could be to early to tell, but with symptoms like that I doubt you are pregnant. I hope that helps!
Good luck

I have to disagree with persey.


Alot of people get false negatives, the truth is.. Alot of people will never get a positive birth control test.

Also, persey... I am not sure where you are getting your information from but she is showing all the classic signs of early pregnancy. The harder stomach, more saliva, tiredness, more than average discharge, nausea, and most obvious of all, no period.


There is a very very very good chance that you are pregnant. When was your last period due? I would strongly recommend going to a doctor and getting a blood test done... That will tell you if your pregnant or not. I am estimated to be about 6 weeks along and I have all the same symptoms. Good luck!

I know in ectopic pregnancy 17.5% do not pass urine test, and only 2% do not pass the blood test.

I dont know about normal pregnancy how the %'s are

There are 2 different types of blood test they can do. One is a regular test that usually detects if your a week and the other (beta) that detect if your 1 day. If your over a week either one would have come out positive unless the possibility (hope not) of tubal preg.
And don't take this the wrong way but some people who get so worked up about possibly being preg. Will actually start thinking they are and start having symptoms. I mean actually having the complete symptoms.
My sil is a ob-gyn and has been for years and she has said there have been many women who have come in swearing they have symptoms and they take the test and even blood and they are negative. And she said the symptoms usually go away when they realize they are not pregnant.
This may not be the case with you but it does happen all the time. She's actually had to do ultra-sounds to show that there isn't anything there.

Once, my period didn't show up for three months. I knew that there could be no chance that I was pregnant....(no sex for a year and a half)yet no one, not even the doctors knew why my period had disappeared. Then, out of the blue, my period returned......

My sister had a negative on her blood test and ended up being pregnant...If you think you are then do not give up. Go to the doctor and have them run more tests. Women know their bodies better then anyone else.. Listen to what your body tells you.

Yeah I do really feel and believe that I am pregnant. I can't sleep on my stomach comfortably any more and I get nausea everyday around 4 p.M. Its just frustrating not getting a positive test.

I Cant Pass Urine Or Blood Test--10.2 Weeks Preg
I cant even pass the blood hcg, but I am preg in my abdomen.

I have not uterus. I went in for a u/s too, and the baby should have been like 1/4 of an inch and they did not find him in the u/s either. But it is too late to tell me im not pregnant. First of all I know I am for I have all the symptoms and by now I can feel him, cuz no uterus in between us, and he is surfacing by my belly button and I can feel him. Last night I felt him push off like a swimmer going on next lap. It was so cute. He is about 1 1/2 inches and I have physically felt him moving for about 2 weeks. First time it was just like a gurgleing in the bag, but I felt it none the less.

I think I cant pass the test cuz I have no endometrium for the baby to implant and for endometrium too send the signal to my brain to trigger preduction of hcg. I do know I have plenty of progestrone in production. That is where all the symptoms come from. Asked him to run the progestrone test, needs to do the a-fetoprotein test too. They show with abdominal pregnancy. Most of them I have heard of without uterus they never know they are preg, they think its a tumer or something. Until they go into explore.

Wow
All this info is so trippy. I'm a psych major... I don't have a degree yet so don't actually listen to me =-)! But I know that during the salem witch trials the afflicted girls could actually psychosomatically make bit marks mysteriously appear on their arms. And they could break themselves out with hives and stuff. When I was a kid I could talk myself into a fever or into vomiting, and yes i've done the same w/ pregnancy.

Yes, I have thought I was 2 different times in the last 19 years--but not even like this time. Not even like when I thought I was--really. I have been pregnant 10 times counting this one--never had such strong preg symptoms. I can feel him swim and move and I now feel the blood flowing thru the bag. Just the last few days. Like the placenta is pretty much completely developed now. Just stay with me on this one--it is true I promise. Go to seach engine--put in abdominal preg, or heterotopic pregnancy, or intra abdominal pregnancy--you will find a few cases. Most of them with a uterus, but some without.

The only difference between me and a ectopic pregnancy is im not suppose to have a hole in my tube soc(vaginal cuff). Ectopic pregnancy happens all the time. As far as sperm finding the egg, easy, that is what god created them to do!!! Right!
