About the Possibility of Blood Test Being Wrong Posted: 11-07-05 22:29pm
I've been late for 3 days now. The only
time i've been late before was when I was
pregnant with my baby girl. So I used a
test I had at home and it came back
positive. Because it was a sunday and no
lab was open, I decided to buy another
home test,just to be sure. This time I
bought another brand that came with 2
tests. I took one and it was positive
too. Both tests that I used are over 99%
accurate.This morning (monday) I went to
the lab to get the blood one done and it
came negative. I was very surprised. My
menstruation is not here still and I took
the other one (with my husband in the room
with me to make sure I was doing it right)
and it's still coming out positive. I
dont know what to think. I've taken many
tests before and never had any problem.
How can 2 different brands be telling the
same thing,yet the blood thest says
another? Im so lost here.
I know that topic similar to this have
been discussed here,but I still wanted to
share my story and see if something
similar have happened to any of you. Or
if maybe you know something about
it.....Just something.
Thanks in advance

wow. That is just wierd.
I can't imagine a blood test being wrong.
But you keep getting positives. Hun,
the only thing I can suspect is that they
gave you the results for someone else.
There is no way your going to get several
+'s and a negative blood test, especially
since the blood tests are so reliable. I
would look into this one hun.....Get a
blood test somewhere else, at the very
least!
Keep us
posted.....
ditto what jamie said!

Thanks a lot. As it turs out, I really am
pregnant. I waited a few days, went to
another lab and this time it was a
positive. Weird things that happen in
this world. I always thought the blood
thest were 100% accurate.

Hi I am new here. I am at day 35 in my
28 day cycle. I am very nauseated,
having headaches, have more than usual
discharge (not itchy, burning, or smelly,
just normal, but more than normal), having
to urinate really often, I have taken 3
tests one had a very faint 2nd line, I had
a blood test yesterday and they said it
was negative, but they were very busy and
seemed very rushed. I am concerned that
the test is wrong. In my first pregnancy
I had hyperemesis gravidarium, it was very
bad and I am having a similar nausea now
for the past 2 weeks. I am not sure what
I should do, should I go for a 2nd blood
test? Or should I wait awhile longer and
see if my period eventually shows up? I
live in a very small town and I don't want
to bother my doctors office if I am not
pregnant, is there any other way to get a
blood test than by going to my normal
doctors office? Are there clinics or
labs that do testing on a walk in basis or
anything like that? Any input would be
great. Thanks

Maybe you should wait a day or two &
retest. Even if a line is faint, it is
still considered to be positive. And
using first morning urine does help.
Either way keep us posted & best of
luck to you!
