Very late period but still getting negitive readings on HPTs. Whats Going on?
Ok i am very confused. I had a normal period on 2/20/07 and today is 4/07/07 and i havent had one since. i have taken 5 pregnancy tests and all came up negitive. I went to my doctors and they did a pregnancy test (urin) and that came up negitive. The only time i have been this late is when i was pregnant with my son a 15 months ago. I am showing all the signs of pregnancy. a very late period, very sore and tender breasts, nasuea, headaches, moody, and slight cramp/pulling feeling that i had the night i found out i was pregnant with my son. Could i be pregnant and it just not show up in my urin? i know that its suppossed to but i have read that a few women will have negitive urin pregnancy test after negitive urin pregnancy test, and a few months later they end up going to the doctor and they find out that they are already 5+ months along, just cause their urin showed up negitive. my doctor said if i dont get one by the time my next one is due which is in 2 weeks then i need to call back and get in, but i dont think i can wait that long. please what do you think? i am very confused. do you think i could be one of those rare people? and if so how can i get my doctor to look at it from my point of view?
i don't think it's that rare actually. i have read on this forum of several people how got negative urine tests for a long time. if your period is normally regular, and this has never happened to you, you may want to ask for a blood test. if they resist, explain your other symptoms, and tell them that you are concerned that if it's not pregnancy then something else is going on with your hormones.
It did take a longer time with my first PG for a HPT to show up positve, but I just found out I am pregnant w/#2, and it showed up after only being a week late this time. Definately get into your docs soon to get a blood test. Could be a hormonal thing...
Ah, the infamous "it didn't turn positive until I was 5 months" stories.
Yes, they abound the internet and every single community on earth. In fact, it IS rare not to test positive if you have enough HCG in your system to be detected at the appropriate times, by the appropriate tests.
There can be many reasons for the stories, which typically happen to "this girl I know", or someone else.
The fact is, if you have a healthy normal pregnancy, and you test AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME and have enough HCG to be detected by the test you are using, it will be positive.
If you keep getting negatives and don't get your period, see your doctor to find out why.

I would insist on a blood test. I have a friend and with all three of her children the urine test came up neg. She had to have the blood test to show she was preg.
