Ok, so my wife is possibly pregnant. She
has taken a total of 5 tests at home and
all 5 have been positive. We went to our
family doctor today to get one done and
his came back negative so now they have
done blood work and we will know the
results tomorrow hopefully.
Just for the hell of it I went out and
bought another 2 pack of tests for her to
take again tonight and that one also came
out positive. She will be taking the
other one tomorrow morning and has already
taken 2 in the past 2 mornings and the
others were taken tonight and sunday
night.
So out of a total of 6 tests at home all
of them have been positive. These have
been 3 different brands as well.
Her first day of her last was around march
10th. The only thing she has had is
cramping at times, no spotting or anything
else.
Can anyone give us any advice? We also
have an appointment with a OBGYN on
Friday.
Thanks in advance

.false negatives have been known to happen
but false positives are very rare. .i
would say that she is pregnant and you
should definitely go to an obgyn for a
general pregnancy check and confirmation
as well. Congrats!

blood tests are accurate, your doctor may
do a blood test that monitors her levels,
in pregnancy every day certain hormone
levels increase with this blood test will
show is if her levels are staying the same
or raising, if they are staying the same
it would mean your not pregnant, if it
raises it means you are and things are
going well.
now allot of time after a miscarriage you
will get positive pregnancy test readings
mostly from a home test because of the
hormone still being present, this had
happened to me after miscarrying before
and my want to have a child made me feel
like i was still pregnant a month later
and having a positive home test and a
positive test at the clinic through a
urine test, but once they did the test by
blood it showed no signs of pregnancy.
it does not sound to me that this is your
case you did not mention a previous
miscarriage, but what they will probably
do is either A. 1 week hormone check "test
is done by a simple blood draw", or B a in
the clinic mobile ultrasound, this will
show if there are signs of early pregnancy
for certain, "this will be done with a
ultrasound probe inserted into the vagina,
there is no pain involved. early pregnancy
will not be able to be picked up by the
over the stomach"
i hope this helps good luck to you, if it
shows you are not pregnant have fun
