Negative blood test...still pregnant?

My LMP was around November 10, 2005. Ever since then I've been having headaches, backaches, stomach cramps, nausea & vomiting, sweats, nipple discharge, and CM. I went to the doctor and my nipple discharge was in fact milk. I've taken several HPT and they all have come back negative. I have had 2 blood tests which both beta hCG came back as <2 mIU/mL. My prolactin level went from 5.9 to 8.7 ng/mL in a week. I have heard that some womens hCG cant be detected for a couple months. Is there any chance that my hCG level just isnt detectable in my blood and is there anyone whos going through or went through this before?

Thank you in advance!

back in 2008 i was sure i was pregnant it had been about 50 days since my last period and every home pregnancy test i took was a negative very frustrating. i finally decided to go to the doctors to get a blood test after ttc for 7 months only to have it come back negative broke my heart, my doctor said if i was sure i was pregnant he would let me do another blood test a week later so i did and sure enough i was pregnant and went on to have a beautiful baby girl. then in 2010 i was in the same situation 56 days since last period every home pregnancy tests negative so another blood test NEGATIVE i was devastated again but convinced i was pregnant. so a week later the doctor let me have another blood test and sure enough POSITIVE again, and another beautiful girl. so it is very possible to have negative blood test and still be pregnant wishing you all the best and hope you get pregnant very soon :)

My husband believes and says I am pregnant. I have all the symptoms, let alone a belly showing. It doesn't seem like it's just fat but I get hopeless because of all the pregnancy tests I've done. All the pregnancy tests show negative and from there I get so discouraged. I did get my period after 1 month and then the 2nd month it skipped. I don't know what's going on with my body. I still have the symptoms. My breasts seem fuller, I'm eating more and get hungrier quicklier than normal. My thighs are as twice as bigger than before. My gasses are extremely deadly and they use to never be like that. I use to be able to sleep on my back now I can't. I'm having trouble sleeping. I've been urinating more than ever before. My back cracks differently and pain come and go. My insides felt like they were expanding because of the pain. I get pain here and there inside of my body. My breasts and belly itches all the time. These symptoms I have never felt before. My husband says I'm in denial because I say I'm not pregnant. Well if I am than why do I keep getting negative results on the tests!? Has anyone gone through what I've gone through?

Im wondering about mine as well. Lots of possible answers but I have never had this strange pattern of a period and be late. My last normal period was in November. Had sex Dec, then suppose to have periOD next day but only spotted. Next dat no period. Same pattern happened in Jan. A week b4 period in Feb, only had blood after wipe from pee. For 4 days.Its now FEB and no period. 12 days late. Went for blood work it was negative. That was my 3rd blood test and several negative HPT. Ive been peeing constantly,headaches,nausea,lower back aches, dizzy spells, bloated, gassy. What could this possibly be?

Ive been experiencing the movement, bubbly tapp feelings and all since december, too, when ee actually thot i was 6wks prrgnant. But then bled, again befote the appt. Ive been researching to pieces and read and even emailed with a woman who experienced CRYPTIC pregnancy. NOhcg, mine was at 1 when they finally checked. Usually cant find a fetus by vag us, or any sometimes they high. And if tests are negative drs wont check.

hi. im also going through that kind of situtation. well, my partner and i are ttc so it would be that great if i am. but unfortunately, after doing lots of pregnancy test it all came back negative. and i've also done urine and blood test but also came up negative so its so frustrating to me and im so depresses i wanna cry my entire life. my LMP was Nov and by the month of Dec i felt some pregnancy symptoms or may i say LOTS of it including nausea, vomiting without solid, back and leg pain, insomnia, abdominal pain (PMS-like), heartburn, bloating, moody, emotional. but by Jan, i got my so-called-period. but this time on my 1st day its kinda like spotting and then by the 2nd to 4th it became light and from 5th to 7th day its a spotting again. unusual than my normal period. but i dont know what to think coz all the test says negative but im feeling so pregnant and this time the symptoms are so pain-killing and i honestly dont know what's going on my body but im still hoping that theres something inside. and also i go through vomiting a lot where all the foods i eat i only throw all of them for a week. is there anyone here thats going through like mines?

I am 10 days past due for my period.  Took 1 HPT and it was negative, went last week for a HCG blood test at my OB/GYN and the results today came back negative.  I am having all of the normal symptoms of pregnancy minus vomiting.  I have a stethoscope (work at a Vet Clinic) and I am able to pick up a heartbeat.  I feel lots of movement every evening about 5:30 and also throughout the day.  I've had a child before and I know what fetal movement feels like.  
The doc office is trying to tell me that I'm not pregnant and that I just have gas.  This is NOT gas.  I've asked for an ultrasound.  If they won't do one, I will either go elsewhere or have someone at my work do one for me.  
I'm overweight so you can't tell by looking, but my belly gets hard in spots and then relaxes and the hard spots move around.

I'm so frustrated cause I want to be pregnant and I feel very strongly that I am and that I may even be 4-5 months already and don't know.

Mines a fun story!
I went for an ultrasound because I supposedly had systs on my ovary, but when we did the scan, I had no systs but was what two technicians thought to be 4 weeks pregnant. I took a test there and then that came back negative and she was surprised because she thought I 100% was. It made sense, because during the 4 weeks before that, I was having all the symptoms but didn't put two and two together.
I've taken about 4 or 5 HPTs that all came back negative and i've had a negative blood test.
I stopped taking the pill when I found out i was, and bled from that for a few days (which i'd done through out my 4 weeks anyway) so didn't worry too much. Since then, which was just over 4 weeks ago, I haven't had a period yet. Usually when I stop taking my pill, my period is all over the place, on for a fewd days, off and then back on but i haven't had anything for over a month.
I'd be around 8 weeks now.
I lost alot of weight at the start and now i'm gaining it all mainly around my stomach.
The doctors don't think i'm pregnant but I can't help feeling sceptical because I saw it on a scan?
I'm just sitting and waiting for my period everyday until I can get another ultrasound.

When I first thought I was pregnant, I had sore boobs, and the feeling of nausea , I took several home tests and a blood test they all came back negative , five months later I started feeling movement in my belly which for three weeks I just assumed it was gas , my husband told me to take another test which I did and it came back positive I was 28 months along!  I have a thyroid problem which interacts with my hormone gland I never get my period (unless on b/c). Now I am having similar feelings that I had when I was pregnant but again all the blood test and home test are coming back negative, I went to emerge and they don't believe that I could still be pregnant after a negative blood test AND I told them about what happened when I was pregnant with my son ,

Ok so my period is always on sched. I had my last period in April and it was a week late making it start around the 2nd of May. Then 2wks later I got it again (I think). It lasted for 2 days and it wasnt heavy and was brown in color. I dont know which one of these to count as my last period. If it was the late one then I am technically late for this period. I have taken 2 HPT and both neg. I have been experiencing gas/bloating and dizzyness for 2 wks, and am now experienceing breast/nipple tenderness and a bit of nausea.

I'd really like to know as soon as possible so I can start planning and taking care of myself for the baby. Anyone have any similar story or symptoms? I'm prolly gonna go to the doc at the end of the wk but wanted to get others opinions.
