How possible is it to get a false negative on a HPT?

by happilymarried1, May 12, 2009 02:18PM
Wow, it's amazing to see how many of us are going through the same things...I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but wanted to be sure. I just had my embryo transfer 5/8 and my bloodwork isn't scheduled till 5/19 - of course I couldn't stand it so went and bought a home test today ~ big fat negative. Just wondering how that could be if the HcG shot I gave myself was just last week. Wouldn't that hormone still be in the body? Is it still possible to have a positive result next week? Gosh this is so mind-boggling and enough to drive you crazy!

Good luck to everyone out there ~ so many of us in the same boat. Also too bad most insurances don't pay for IVf either ~ such a common thing :(

Thank you for your input!

It is entirely possible for the HCG trigger shot to be out of your system and if you are pregnant it is too soon for your own hormones to produce a positive. HCG starts to double the day of implantation so it is still very low at this point, in a couple of days you could very well have a positive. Keep the faith!
