Pregnancy Test - Positive And Then Negative???
Posted: 08-14-06 08:39am

I really need to have some advice on this issue. I don't mind if people reply publically, this is a username that people who know me wont identify me with.

I took a urine pregnancy test from the supermarket and it came out as positive, so I went straight to the hospital to get it reconfirmed and it came out as negative.

To keep it short, I have been sexually active for the past two weeks and been using condoms. I'm not on the pill yet because i'm waiting for my period to be due which is one week away.

The nurses said that the test is more accurate after my period is due because it is too early to detect.

Directly to the right hand side of my belly button I can feel a tiny lump, like the size of a pea, but slightly smaller and when I press it, I feel a tiny sharp pain. I have recently returned to regular physical activity so it could be a muscle thing. This small pain, i've had it for about less than a week now.

I don't know, the main reason why I took the test was because, I dont know, I felt kind of odd in some way. Could it be my gut feeling? I just need some kind feedback so I can sleep tonight.

Another thing, I get very regular periods and I always get pms the one week prior to getting my period. Well, last week, which was mid cycle, I kind of felt like I had period pain. Thats not normal for me. :s

This feeling is quite common - especially when we are afraid of being pregnant!

You very well could have gotten a false positive pregnancy test. If your period isn't even due, the chances of a home pregnancy test being positive are low to begin with.

Cycles change as we change. Not all cycles will be the same. Every cycle has the potential to be different. You can have pains during this cycle you didn't have during the last cycle - and it sounds to me like you are searching out possible 'differences'. Which is totally normal! But the pain you felt could have been ovulation if it was midcycle bleeding.

Sexual activity for 2 weeks but your period isn't due for a week. Relax and wait for your period. Pregnancy tests are not accurate until you are late or due for your period. All sex does not mean pregnancy ;)

make sure to have your pills ready for when you do start your period.

Good luck!

Thank you. I'm just getting worried very easily because I had sex for the first time two weeks ago. I'm 21 and I waited this long. My boyfriend is out of town for a whole month and he is somewhere remote at the moment and theres no way of contacting him unless he travels to a public phone or writes a letter. :s
