Our 18 year old daughter tell us she is 4
months pg. She has not had a period
since june and has had 2 year tests and
one blood test done by the doctor. They
have all been negitive there for her
doctor will not refer her to a
genacologist.
She says a local family planning tells her
she is pg by mean of a group of questions
they asked her and she did a home test
that came up possitive. She says the
doctor will not expect this home test.
She has not a physical exam.
Has anyone else experienced repeated
negitive urine and blood test and have
them turn out false? We have great
concerns if she is pregnet and how is she
to get around her family doctor that will
not refer her?
Thanks you, sally

A home urine test is the same thing as a
urine test in a doctor's office. It
wouldn't be positive for her and negative
for a doctor. If anything, I would not
trust the test she did herself, because a
doctor is familiar with running the test
correctly and is much less likely to screw
it up, twice.
And the blood test confirms it. She is
not pregnant.
If she isn't having a period, she needs to
find out why. I would take her to another
doctor and ask for other reasons.

I don't think blood tests can be wrong.
If it was negative then she is not
pregnant.
Also, you don't need to be referred to an
obgyn. Tell her to just call and make an
appointment with one.

First of all if you are on an .H.M.O plan
then yes you need to be refered to a
.O.B.-g.Y.N however if she is of age to
be having a period she should be seeing a
gyn yearly anyway.
She needs to go see her doctor again and
ask for test's to be done to regulate her
cyle if she hasn't had a period and she
isn't pregnant. There could be other
problems that could cause her period not
to come.

Thank you for replying. Our daughter
moved out in july a few days after her
18th bd. We understand she is on a
medical plan for low come though the
states social service. I know states
have made a lot of changes to cut costs so
I can not say if she can or can not make
an oppointment herself.
As too her period she had been on b cotrol
since she was 15 becuase of illregualer
bleeding between her periods. She went
off for only reasons she knows in june.
She says she was not trying to get pregnut
but rahter wanted to wait till she moved
out and got a different doctor...
It is very hard to be supportive to her
and not mettle (spelling???). She is our
oldest and first to move out. In part I
question if she is pg but don't want
excuse her. Yet if she is, we want to
push her for prenatal care for our future
grandchild's sake.
This is why I came this form. For open
minded, non bias imput.
I have done a search on the net and unable
to find hard facts about the accurcey
(percentage of errers) on the blood test.
When we questioned her she says the
family planning center told her she has a
rare blood mutation that causes the false
negitive.
Does any one here know of a web site I
find out information/facts on the tests
used?
Thanks you again for replying, sally

If she's on state health care she should
have a case worker and that person can
tell her which gyn to go to. That's how
it is most places.
If she went off her birth control in june
and hasn't had a period since that's
probably the reason. Quitting birth
control can mess up your cycle.
I really don't think she's pregnant, blood
tests are accurate. She should go get
checked out anyway so she can get her
period back on track.

A blood test is definitive. It would tell
you if you were pregnant - or, rather,
your daughter. If her doctor says she
isn't pregnant after a blood test -
especially at 4 months along - I would say
she is not pregnant.
Birth control can mess up your cycles and
you can stop having a period when you stop
taking it.
Missing a period does not always mean you
are pregnant.
