AM I PREGNANT OR NOT?

[ridinsolo]

I am supposed to be 7 weeks pregnant. I went to the health department and had a pregnancy test done results came back positive. Then I go to the emergency room because I was having lower abdominal pain. They ran a urine and blood test for pregnancy both came back negative. I have experienced breast tenderness, weird cravings (ex. Tomatoes and ranch, or peanut butter cherrios with ice cream). I missed my period on the 14th of May. I still haven't experienced any bleeding at all.

Not put off but more so tired of going back and forth and tired of being confused over the issue

You sound very put off, is something wrong? What a005 put is true, there are two different pregnancy blood tests and the one you had is more commonly wrong. If you had a miscarriage, it's very important to find out and if you didn't it's just as equally important to know.

I guess

Yes it is right but they mean beta hcg blood test.There are two types one which tells positive or negative and another is beta test which is more accurate and picks up beta levels early.You need to go for it.

[ridinsolo]

Okay but most people say that if the blood test is negative it means I'm not pregnant

[Clysta]

Ah, you definitely need a beta done. Talk to your doctor and request they do one and you'll have definite answers.

[ridinsolo]

The blood test was a simple positive or negative blood test checking for pregnancy.

[Clysta]

Do you know the blood test that was done? You need to have a beta blood test, which is where they check for the exact level of hormone.

They just asked was it a home pregnancy test. The ER told me to go to my doctor if the pain continued. I had my period on June 13 it wasn't heavy like my normal periods are. Now I have experienced stomach cramping some of the pain is sharp. I never received a ultrasound. I went back to the health department where the pregnancy test was positive after the ER visit. They did another pregnancy test it came out negative.Then I was sent to the OB-GYN and they ran another blood test and it came out negative. Because it came out negative I never had a ultrasound. There was never an expelling if I really lost the baby.

Did you ever have an ultrasound?

It sounds like a missed miscarriage where you got pregnant but the baby stopped developing.  If that is the case, I'm very sorry for your loss.  What did the ER say when you told them the health department said you were pregnant?
