Urine Test Said Pregnant, Other Test Said No. Posted: 12-04-05 13:07pm
My period lasted almost 10 days. I went
to the doctor to see if anything was
wrong. A urine test said pregnant. I
said no way. I was sent to a woman's
clinic and an internal exam showed I was
not pregnant but a blood test was ordered
which I take next week. What's going on
here? Anyone know?

I think it's pretty rare to get a false
positive pg test, but it can happen. And
if you had an internal exam which said you
weren't then I think that would be right.
But a blood test should tell you for sure
whether you are or not. But like
fatfamily asked is there a possibily that
you could be pregnant?

I'm not sure what is happening. I started
my period like normal, then it extended
for almost 11 days. Three days after it
stopped I was at the doctor's office to
find out why it lasted as long as it did.
Then the urine test said pregnant. He
sent me to a woman's clinic the next
moring. I was examend internally and
given a pap smear. The doctor said that
he saw no signs or indications that I was
pregnant. Blood test is tomorrow. I
don't want to be pregnant and wonder how
one could receive a positive right after a
period?
It sounds like you had an early
miscarriage. This is very common. You
may have used a hpt that requires a high
level of hcg and that's why it was
negative at home but the doctor's office
may have used a different test requiring
less hcg. Your body only produces hcg
when you are pg. The 11 day period (if
this is unusually long for you) was most
likely a miscarriage. I had a miscarriage
at 6 weeks and my period lasted 7 days (i
usually have a 3 or 4 day period). Just
remember that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in
miscarriage, maybe even more because some
(like yours, if that's what it was) don't
even get to register on a hpt. I hope
this helps you out a little. Don't feel
too bad, if it was a miscarriage it
probably had nothing to do with you, but
more likely a defect in either the egg or
sperm. Good luck!
