False Negative-blood Test
Posted: 12-17-03 13:23pm

Has anybody ever taken a hpt and gotten a
negative...And also gotten a blood test
and gotten a negative, when you were
really pregnant? I'm just curious, I
thought I saw someone post something about
getting a negative back from the blood
test, but in the end she turned out
preggo...I just want a solid answer to all
of this, no more worrying! If I am, i'll
deal with it the best I can, but at least
i'll have an answer! Also, for those of
you who went to a clinic to get the blood
test, do they do anything else except for
that? I heard they make you pee in a cup
also...Do you get the results back that
day? I hate not knowing these things!

Well I know a blood test can never be
wrong. Its either yes or no. The pee
tests can be wrong though...

You sure about that? I could have sworn
a girl posted her story and in it she had
said something about the blood test came
out negative the first time and she still
hadnt gotten her period so she went back
to get another one and it came out
postive. If your hcg levels arent high
enough I don't think a blood test would
still pick it up do u?

At the amount of time you would be
pregnant right now vanessa then the blood
test would definitely be accurate. Blood
tests are usually false if you take them
before your next period is due, because of
sometimes very low hcg levels!

I had took a blood test and the doctor
told me it came back negative but it was
really positive. This was the doctors
error though

How long does it take to get your blood
test back? The same for the urine?

I got my urine test results back in like
10 minutes, they just use a pregnancy
test....And I got my blood test results
back in 30 minutes, but I went to the big
doctors office, where they have the lab
inside, so it was faster, but most doctors
it takes a little while longer for the
blood test....My urine test came back
negative at the doctor and I said I know
im pregnant and the doctor said that most
hpt's are more reliable than the doctors
urine test.So they gave me a blood
test..And, once I got home, I got a phone
call that ill never forget.."jordan, your
blood test results are in, they are
positive, congradulations!"...And here I
am today..

I think it just happened to me. Went to
the ER early this AM and it took 5 mins to
get the blood back.
. A bit too quick for me. I have all the
pregnancy symptoms and he said " I don't
know what's wrong with you, maybe some
infection somewhere, here's an
antibiotic." when I asked him why the late
period( way over a week almost 2 weeks)
and nausea/vomiting with food cravings and
sensitvity to smells he said " I dunno"
The nurse came in when it was dicharge
time and said " Honey, retest in a couple
of weeks if your period still hasn't come,
you know blood tests aren't 100% accurate,
in my opinion it was done way too fast,
also you may produce hCG alot slower than
some other pregnant women" Also a hpt had
a faint positive but the DR said he didn't
trust any hpts at all. She basically
lifted me spirits as my husband and I are
TTC.

That is a little weird for the blood test
to be back in 5 minutes! Well, good luck
in a couple of weeks when you go back.

Blood tests take longer than 5 minutes.
Urine tests are 5 minutes, blood tests are
a few days.

The blood test was done at the ER so they
are faster. They didn't do a urine test on
me, just tested my urine for bacteria and
I was told it was clean. I just think they
didn't test it correctly or at all. I also
think what the discharge nurse said about
hCG being too low to detect may be
correct.

ok #1 blood tests DO take longer then 5
minutes...even in the er
#2 blood tests are accurate because they
measure even the smallest amount of
anything in your blood (except of course
if the lab tech or doc screws something
up, that i beleive)
#3 it shouldnt take a week to get a hcg on
blood back, it chould take a couple days
tops even if there is no lab in your
doctors facility, its not difficult they
stain the slide and look at it no growing
no anything
#4 urine tests are more reliable at a docs
because they know exactly how to do it to
get the most accurate results
