5 Pregnancy Tests..... Help Plz Posted: 02-18-04 00:31am
Hi, my girlfriend has not missed her
period for the last two months now, her
breasts are swollen, she always feel sick,
and is tired quite often. We have taken
5 pregnancy tests so far, and the first
three were negative, the fourth was some
sort of error, and the fifth was negative
also. I am wondering, can this many
tests be wrong? We were going to planned
parenthood this morning, but they were
under-employed so they could not do
pregnancy testing... Can we be pregnant
but get 5 negatives?

Well lets see if she has not missed her
periods and she is regular, then she may
not be pregnant, I know that sometime most
people want to be pregnant or fear that
they are and soon the symptoms kick in
most of the time the symptoms are
physiological (they are nonexistent).
But not all urination tests are right,
some women can go the whole nine moths and
it's obvious they are and still get
negative urine test. If you girlfriend
ends up missing a couple of periods and
the pee test come back negative you may
want to look into a blood test.

the last two months... Not she hasn't....

Have you tried different brands? And are
you testing with the first bathroom visit
in the morning?
If you have 5 negatives though I would get
in to talk to a doctor... Especially
missing two periods.
Good luck!

If she is taking the test in the early a.M
this could be why they are showing up
negative. I took a test at about 10am
and it showed up negative, the same day
around 12:30 I took another and it showed
up positive. I am now in my third
trimester. Try the ept brand. If it
showes up negative again she should
defanently see a doctor about no period
for two months. For whatever it is you
want, good luck.

Ok... So we went to see the doc.. He
gave her a "very sensitive" urine test,
and it came back neg, so he sent us down
to the lab for a blood test which I hear
is a difinitive... So... Some time in
the afternoon we will find out. Her diet
has changed immensely, and I feel that is
what is affecting her... She went from
eating normal, to not eating at all,
really. Her diet has been really
inconsistant and has went through some
stress moving out.. The doc said she
could maybe miss a period or two because
of her eating habits and stress... So,
either way~

Stress along with major diet & life
changes can cause you to stop having
periods until she settles down &
starts living & eating normally again
& this can take some time (especially
for her hormones to "kick" back in) but
still take precautions if you don't want a
baby.
