That's really unusual, especially since most blood tests are far more accurate than a home pregnancy test. Unless your doctor had a low-tech blood test, that is unexplainable.

So you took a blood test and it still came back negative and you were 9 weeks

I kept getting negative pregnancy tests and even when I went to the doctor to get a test, it came out negative but we found out through ultrasound that I was already 9, almost 10 weeks pregnant. You might just have low hCG levels.

Here is a list of some possibilities:

*You have an irregular period (which is okay, some girls do)
*You have low hCG levels (human chorionic gonadotropin, which is produced when an egg is fertilized) -- If you think this might be the case, see a doctor, just to be safe.
*Your home pregnancy test is giving you false results (which they can, but it is very rare as most home pregnancy tests are 97% accurate, or accurate 97% of the time, if you want what they're NOT saying)

Getting a blood test is by far more accurate than a home pregnancy test, but costs a lot more money than buying an over-the-counter pregnancy test at CVS or any other local pharmacy. The choice is up to you.
