Q: Can You Be Pregnant After a Negative Blood Test Result?

Can I be pregnant? I have had a biopsy with normal results and an annual pap smear that was also normal in may. I have missed my cycle for the last two months and took 5 hpt and a blood test which all came back negative. Could I be pregnant?

maybe your body isnt producing the right amount of the hormone needed to show positive for a test. So you could be pregnant. Maybe you should discuss this further with your doctor

I Cannot Pass Urine Or Blood Test--i Am 10.2 Weeks
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.

Possibly Pregegnant
I am now 14 weeks and I feel that it is too late for anyone to tell me I am not expecting. My stomach is growing and my breast are getting larger and feel more fuller. Although, I am 41, I am in the lest menopausal nor do I have thyroid disease. I have never missed a period, I may have had two in one month but, never missed. I failed 4 hpt's and a blood test all at 2 1/2 mos.



Please, I cannot be alone.

By the Way Im 43 And Pregnant
Yes, I definately know I am preg too--but my baby is in my abdomen, I have no uterus. I have been to the dr and no blood test come out either. And it is also too late for them to tell me im not preg. With no uterus the bag--and baby are free to move around as they will. And it is just above my belly button, I feel blood flowing to it and I feel him moving about sometimes. He is about 2 inches by now and my water bag is about the size of a grapefruit--large one. I have even felt the faster heartbeat 2 different times. My case may be quite different than yours, but I cant pass the blood or urine test either.. I have heard that pple with thyroid disease may not pass the blood test. Anyone with somekind of hormonal imbalance might not pass it. Cuz one hormone governs another and so on.

It can take up to 3 weeks past missed period to show up on hpt. Happened with my daughter and with me 20 years ago. If dont want to wait just go get a blood test. In authors case I have no idea except I know I am preg and none of the tests are showing it. If he were to do a progestrone test or a-fetoprotein test it would show though, since I am preg in my abdomen. A promise from god. Maybe god dont want them to know just yet??

If you feel you might be pregnant and your pregnancy tests are negative, go see your doctor.

It is very, very UNLIKELY you would be pregnant at this point. Your doctor can feel your uterus enlarging IF you are pregnant. Why aren't your pregnancy tests coming up positive at the doctor's office? Blood tests are infinitely more accurate than HPTs. They are also doing urine tests (same as HPTs) at the doctor's office. Why wouldn't those be positive?

There are many reasons you could miss your period that are NOT related to pregnancy. Look into those. Or go see a totally different doctor and demand another test plus a manual exam.

THANKS
thanks, last time i went to the doctor, i had stopped at walgreens to buy ept tests. i took the box unoppened to the doctor and i took from ept and one the doc gave me. hers came back negative and the ept came back positive. she thought that was pretty weird so i took another set. a few minutes later same results. at first she thought it was the brand, so she sent the nurse to the local pharmacy to buy another brand. same results. hers negative and the store bought positive... she check by abdoman becuase it seemed larger to her that the prior time i went, i had gain about 7 pounds and i seemed larger up front... she didnt do an u/s because she thinks that im just bloated becuse i havent had a period in a while. i have another appt on the 29th of this months. i guess i'll see what happens. thanks.
