Q: Pregnancy Question

Ok me and my boyfriend are currently try'en to have a baby. My doctor started me on clomide and had me check my ovulation to check when is the best time. So we do everything as instructed. I miss my period so I check with three different pregnancy test. Ept, first response, and a store brand pregnancy test. They all came out positive. Clear as day. I got so excited and called my doctor. He had me take a blood test. Sad to say it came back negative. Can it still be possible I am pregnant?

That is weird.....

3 tests I highly doubt you would get three false positives I would get a second opinion I have heard of test results getting mixed up go to a clinic and get blood work done!!!

Good luck!!

That's what I heard too... Umm, go to a differnt doctor and get some more bloods done and explain what happened last time - if they did mix your bloods (which happnes more than one would think... Bloody docs :p) then the chances of it happening again are tiny.. Or you'll have to wait for an u/s later on to see... Good luck.

Tough one this... Let us know how it goes.

Well you guys were right! I was set-up for a doctors visit and they totally got my testing wrong. They just hired a new receptionist who was reading my previous results instead of my current ones. So far i'm 10 weeks pregnant and due december 25, 2006. Thank you for all of your help.

So why aren't you married yet? The tax benefits are wonderful. Get married before the end of the year, and you can claim the baby on your tax return.

or a couple hundred depending on if you want to skip the hooplah and just legally tie the knot. Which is what me and my guy are doing just for insurance purposes. We're keeping it a secret though and not considering ourselves married yet and we'll have a wedding next year sometime.

That's why we're not telling anyone and we'll have a real wedding next year and we'll consider whatever day that is to be our anniversary for the future. This is just for insurance reasons and it makes things easier for us to be legally married when the baby is born.

I totally love the destination wedding idea (vegas, beach wedding, etc)! Trust me, i've been to like 100 weddings - no one wants to attend anyone's 'wedding' (other than family) because weddings kind of suck. People are only in it for the reception where the real fun is. ;)

you can claim your baby on your taxes whether you are married or not. You cannot both claim the baby for a deduction though.

I wouldn't get married for pregnancy, children or insurance. Only marry if you know this is the right person for you!

Congrats on your pregnancy.

i don't know if this was directed at me or just a piece of advice but i've been engaged for over a year (to *the one*!) and we were planning on having our wedding in october. Well, the baby is due 10 days after what was supposed to be our wedding day so we're postponing it. I don't have insurance, i'm on medicaid right now, but we're moving to a different state when i'll be about 34 weeks along so there goes that. So we're going to legally get married (we already have our license, just need to go see a notary) and i'm going to be put on his insurance and deliver at the hospital he works at so it'll basically be free. Anyway, that's just my story... I just wanted to clarify that i'm not rushing into anything and getting married just because i'm pregnant.

oh no! That wasn't directed at you at all. You were obviously getting married before the baby and that isn't changing.

I just don't see why people get married because they get pregnant. If half of all marriages fail (statistically they say that), then getting married for a child is the wrong reason to get married - because eventually children grow up and move away and marriage is a lifetime commitment.



No one should ever get married unless it is the right person for them.

Well, we're not telling anyone we're legally married so when we have our actual wedding everyone will think it's the big day for us (and it will be). We just won't have to go get a license or marriage certificate as we'll already have them. It's the paperwork that makes everything legal, the ceremony is just a formality.

Yes wedding does not have to cost thousands of dollars and just because you have a big wedding it does not make out for a great storybook marriage. I never cared much for a big wedding the 1st tmee that I was going to get married was on the beach at hawaii and his family and my family kept on adding names for invitations to send and all I wanted to do was to keep it simple so then I got cold feet and called the whole thing off including the relationship and I thought for years after that that is the one I should have stayed with. If it is your decision to have a big wedding then go for it, the best to you, watever you decide as long as you are happy!

I know of alot of people that renew their vows at 10, 25 years and on up that have a bigger whoop-de-do then when they got married.

I totally agree with you .Ingi, my 1st marriage was done for the fact that I did not want my folks to think I was sleeping with him, I was living with my grandmother at the time and we went out of town for an early breakfast, halfway to las vegas and I thought we were turned around, coming home but we had planned on getting married anyway in about 6 months, well I fell asleep, next thing you know, I woke up in las vegas and I tol my b/f, we have to get married now as I did not want anyone to think I was sleeping with him, that was a big mistake as he was very abusive and the one who kicked me in the stomach when I was pregnant, that is another wrong reason even though I did love him, I did lose the respect for him, I did not even know that he had lost his leg and he felt that the world owed him a living and at one time he was hooked on drugs and I thought I knew him so well. Please get to now the guys 1dt and do not get married just because you are pregnant.
I forgot to mention that on the way baaack from vegasi got kind of drunk and got out to go potty and ended up with a cactus needle in my butt so my wedding night was not much fun as they are painful to get out and poisonous so I was sick and in a lot of pain from the drs getting the cactus needle out(lol, I am glad that I can laugh at it now)!
