I am not sure what happened

[mamatokevin]

I am wondering if any of you can tell me what you think happened to me. I am 30  ( I have hypothyroidism and prediabetes (and had gestational diabetes with my past pregnancy- which was one successful pregnancy- and until now no known miscarriages. Here is my story: My last period was Dec 5 2007. On Dec 12 (I had an endometrial biopsy-because my lining was "thicker than normal" a few weeks prior)(it came back alright and I was told to procede with ttc. On Dec 19th my dh and I had sex. (I knew that I was ovulating). On dec 30- I starting to feel pinching in my uterus and then on dec 31st I had the pregnancy nausea (I quickly recognized it as I have had one child who is 15 months old and I had the same kind of nausea with him). I took a first response preg. test that had a very faint pink line. Then I took the ept prg. test which either says PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT and it said "PREGNANT!" We were excited. (By the way my period always comes between day 26-28- so Dec. 31st was day 26 for me- and obviously I had no period). Then on the 2nd I took another EPT ahich came out as "NOT PREGNANT" and the First Reponse came out as POSTIVE- then on Jan 3rd I took another EPT that said "PREGNANT" and the first reponse had the faint pink line for positive. Then on the morning of Jan 4th- I started spotting- then bleeding I went to a clinic they did a urine test which came out NEGATIVE. They said I was probably having a period that was just a bit late. I couldn't believe this- I had 5 home pregnancy tests (and different brands too)all say Postive over the past 4 days and I had some major pregnancy sysmptoms. So I asked to have a "QUANTITATIVE blood test" done at 8:30am they drew blood and said the results would come back the next day. I went home where I began to have some cramping and a more blood ( more cramping and bleeding than my usual period). I had my husband take me to the navy hosp across town (we're military). They did a Qualitative blood test at 3:30pm and is was NEGATIVE. Today I received a call from the nurse at the other clinic who said that the Quantitative number yesterday morning was Hcg of 4. What is going on here? I know that I WAS PREGNANT - ( I had all symptoms and my period was late). I found out early with the "early tests" (that  even said pregnant). (How can 5 positive tests be so wrong? ) - please tell me what you think? I am still so confused about what happened and medical professionals will not give me any answers. They have no explanation for how I could have had all of the symptoms, a late period and FIVE positive pregnancy tests. I would be grateful for any information that you can provide for me. Thank You, Dawn ***@****

I agree with Heather5. You may have beenpregnant but implantation did not occur properly and your cycle eventually came on. I'm sorry that you are going through this. All I can say is that you will be blessed with a healthy strong baby soon. Keep the faith.

I think you probably were pregnant. Maybe a chemical pregnancy that built up enough HCG to measure on the sensitive HPTs, but didn't implant properly...and by the time you had the blood test, the HCG had gone back down below 5. I guess chemical pregnancies are fairly common, but most women won't know about it, they just assume their periods are a few days late (unless they use an early-detection test).

I'm so sorry you've been going through this...
