For any of you who are or have been
pregnant, has anyone actually been
pregnant but continued to have negative
pregnancy tests for a time?
I have a good friend describe some strange
symptoms and then tell me that she is
convinced that she is pregnant even though
she's had multiple negative pregnancy
tests. I told her to go to the doctor but
she has horrible insurance and has
to wait another couple of weeks until she
gets paid again. She is over one month
late, is having extremely bad heartburn
which is causing some nausea, and is
having to use the restroom a lot. Other
than that she has no other pregnancy
symptoms.
I'm just curious if it is possible to be
pregnant (at this point she would be
considered 9 weeks pregnant) and still
have negative pregnancy tests.
Thanks in advance!
Peace,
Jenn

Its probably just a mental thing. alot of
times if you lie and stick to that lie you
start believing it right. If you have
signs of being pregnant and you keep
thinking that you are no matter if you
have had a neg. test or what. Your mind
plays tricks on you and my best friend has
had that problem.
I hope this makes since because I reread
it and it sounds stupid. : )

I fooled myself into thinking I was
pregnant so many times! I seriously had
all the symptoms and I was late and all.
She probably just did that to herself. I
am pretty sure that her hormone levels
would be high enough to show if she is
having symptoms.

the "norm" is to get a positive after a
missed period however there are many women
whom the test just simply does not work
for them. The best thing in these cases is
to get bloodwork done.

For my friend, it's most
ASSUREDLY not a desire to be pregnant or a
lie that she is pregnant. She doesn't
want to be pregnant and she was on birth
control but had to take a regimen of
antibiotics for a harsh sinus infection
and was worried that her birth control
would be less effective. Now, she's more
than a month late. In fact, she should be
on another period right now and still
hasn't had one so in a few more days if
she doesn't have one, she will have missed
two periods.
Thanks to everyone for replying. I will
tell her to get a blood test as soon as
she gets paid again.
Peace,
Jenn
