I was wondering if anyone has had a neg.
Hpt and was preg. I am having all of the
syptoms including a missed period. The
only syptom I do not have is sore
breasts/nipples. I can't help but feel
that I am, but I have continued to test at
home and they all come back neg.
Please respond
thanks

Well usually they say to wait a week and
then take another test, and if that still
comes back negative then you want to call
the doctor. If you feel that you might
be, call the doctor and see if they can
get you in for blood work. Sometimes the
hcg hormone is not strong enough in womans
bodies to trigger the hpt. So bloodwork
is much more reliable. Dont go by
symptoms. Sometimes the mind can trigger
these when you are worrying about it. So
just call the doctor, it will really ease
your mind :)

With me and my daughter it took 3 weeks
paast missed period to get a pos urine
test. Have you missed that long?? Just
curious
but like other writer says you can go to
dr and blood hcg is more reliable and can
tell sooner than urine test.
Good luck

Some one told me that they only do blood
tests when you have a confimed pregnancy
through a urine test. Or can I request
one and they should preform it for me?
This is all new to me. And I have health
insurance with co pay does any one have an
estimate of how much a blood test will
cost?

Yes sometime they request you have pos
urine test first--dont know why but....
If you were in pains or something and they
needed to "know" if you were they would do
blood test. Like, say you went into
hospital with threatened miscarriage they
would do blood test or ultra sound then
theyd know for sure.

Co Pays Posted: 10-12-05 17:05pm
I have been working with docs for over 3
yrs now. Most of the time when you have
no co pay it means either you have really
good coverage and your insurance covers
100% or you have a deductable. If it is a
deductable you need to call your doc and
ask them to call their lab to find the
price. I don't know where you are, but
here in colo, quest diagnostics gives
discounts to doc office. So for all of
our "self pay" patients we would get our
price and charge the patient our price.
Then quest bills us and not the patient.
The discount is pretty much always around
the 75% range. Do check on this as it
could save you lots!!! Also check with
your insurance to see what kind of
coverage you have with blood work. Hope
this helps.

You will probably have to pay like 25
dollar copay. I havent heard that they
wont do a blood test, but I can guarentee
they are going to say wait a week. Your
period is only like a day or two late,
which can happen at any time with any one.

I had a blood test at my request, and I
only did 2 home tests....My co pay was
only 15 dollars and the insurance took
care of the rest. I just told my doctor
I felt really weird and told him some of
the stuff that was going on and it was a
definite possibility that I could be
pregnant. But I wasn't, even though I
felt so strange. Don't know what the
problem was. :)
