different results to preg tests--please help

[long10021982]

First of all, I have always had abnormal cycles...except when I was on the pill-This is why I am somewhat confused if i am pregnant or not. I had sex on 11/13 and got a little nauseaus on 11/24 after eating pizza (no vomit..just a feeling). I took a test the morning of 11/25 and it was positive. I took another test the afternoon of 11/25 and it was negative. I took a test the morning of 11/26 positive and two more later that day..both negative. I took one last HPT the morning of 11/27 -positive...when i went to the doctor around 10 am on 11/27 my urine test was negative. he then took a blood test and i got my results on 11/28 negative. What is going on??? Please help

2 weeks ago i done a pregnancy test which came back negative the day after i got a letter from the doctors asking to ring them i rang them and they said they weree confirming my results no negative, so i rang them up yesterday and they said i was positve so i went up the hospital and they said i had a misscarage. The reason for my misscarige is because the doctors said i was not pregnant but i ntook my pill and had a miscarrage what can i do please help me

So can chemical pregnancies be common? I think I had one a couple of months ago cos when I went to the dr I was having faint but seeable positives but the nurse said it wasnt, but when I got home the line was obviously there the prob was I bled a couple of days later heavier than before, but it wasnt until recently I found the test again and its a def pos. In that situation theres nothing they can do is there? Because it was never confirmed by the dr I always wonder was I wasnt I, was there something better I should of done? Plus Im on weight loss pills, maybe thats what done it...Anyway what God Wills.

So far so good  - I am exactly 5 weeks today.  I really think this one is going to take because I have not been feeling well (especially at night) & have had some other pregnancy symptons.  I am a little obsessed though - I have been taking pregnancy tests daily just to make sure I'm still pregnant (silly?)  They are from Dollar General & they are only $1 so I think I might just do one everyday until my dr. appt. (which is the 22nd!!)  But thank you for asking.  

I would suggest waiting until you are 17 days past ovulation & take a test.  See what happened to me when I had the chemical pregnany was this...
I was really late - like 40 days & the at home pregnany tests were negative.  I went to the doctor & they gave me a urine pregnany test in the office & saw an extremly light line.  But the blood test came back negative.  The doctor said that I probably had a 'chemical pregnancy'.  Now this time when I did the at home pregnany tests - they come up positive.  So maybe you are - I hope so!!  Good Luck & keep me posted!

I also had a chemical pregnancy last month & am feeling like I'm pregnant again.  Only now I'm too scared to go get a test.  I mean if I test now it could say positive - only to find out in 2 weeks that it's negative.  How's everything going with this pregnancy for you?

[malqahtani]

Thank you.  I'm actually here everyday, but I don't always post.

hi there malq! nice to see you again. your cycle sounds like it could go either way. unfortunatly we wont know until you are officially late!! do take the test then and let us know :)

AF is your period - AF stands for 'Aunt Flo' I think???

As far as a chemical pregnancy - you will probably just start your AF on your own - if not your doctor may perscribe something like Provera to bring it on.  I had a chemical pregnancy last month - & just found that this month I got pregnant!!  (YEA!)  So it'll be OK - this was how it was described it me ...  your body was trying to get pregnant & started producing the HCG hourmone.  But for some reason it just wasn't time.  GOod Luck & try not to worry!

[long10021982]

sorry...what is an AF??? If I did have a chemical pregnancy and had a miscarriage...should I have started bleeding?

[long10021982]

I have not had any bleeding...the past day or so i have had like leg cramps or some tingling in my breast (very little)...could my cycle be about to come?

[malqahtani]

You may want to wait until after you miss your AF, I had a blood test done at 3 weeks and it registered negative, when I was pregnant and knew it, and all of my hpt's registered negative until 5 weeks, 1 week after scheduled AF.  Don't stress just wait until a few days after you miss your AF.  Or if you don't miss it then I wouldn't worry, but you could still retest after your AF is over, some women still get their AF in the beginning of their pregnancy.  Good Luck:)

Different brands of HPTs have differing sensitivities.  Sometimes it says on the box how much HCG they pick up.  If you use a very sensitive test, (sometimes labeled "Test up to 4 days before your period") it may be positive when a less sensitive brand is negative.

The same may be true with the blood test.  A qualitative HCG test (which is a preg test that gives a simple yes or no), may not register as positive if your levels are very low.  A QUANTITATIVE TEST will pick up down to almost zero.  

The thing to do is to wait a few days, and test again.  If you are indeed pregnant, your levels will have increased to the point that any pregnancy test will show a positive.

If not, and your period is a couple of weeks late, contact your doctor again for advice as to what you should do next.

have you had any bleeding?

[sparkeler]

You could have experienced a chemical pregnancy, (a very early miscarriage.)  I think the blood test confirms that if you were pregnant, you no longer are.  I'm not sure if that's what you wanted to hear.
