HPT Pos/Doctors Neg

[amy8702]

PlEASE PLEASE help!!!! In the last week, I've taken 3 or 4 pregnancy tests. All pink dye, all positive. A couple faint positive but at least positive. I'm either 3w5d or 4w5d (not sure yet as I'm irregular.) Well, today I went to a walk-in clinic to get my pregnancy confirmed and get a referrel. The Doc there did a pee test and said, I'm not pregnant that his was neg. I told him about my positive and he said they're all falso positives!! Anyone have any similar experiences or any advice?

i double checked the htp with the hospital as the clear blue reseacher wanted it and it was definatly 8 as i thought that was weird. but that reasearcher told me it was a positive to her so when they send me my free didital test im going to do it again and see what the result is. my htp was suposed to be tested again 2 days after but they told me not to bother. the test was in date as it was a double pack my friend used the other it came up positive and she is having a healthy baby. i might just give my doctor a call tommorow and see what she says as she told me on tuesday that a positive clear blue is definatly pregnant :s

One last thing, there aren't any HPT that can detect and hcg hormone of 8. Usually 20 or higher. Check on the package aswell for that tests sensitivity

False positives are possible, but rare. There's a few ways you can get them.

However due to experience, having and hcg level of 8 is still negative. When ovulating the level can be between 5-10. The number Dr's like to see is below 5 however, anything under 10 is still considered negative.

If you're still concerned and confused go get your beta's checked in a couple days. If it goes up, you're pregnant.

Also, if you still have the box check the expiration date on the pregnancy test.

Let me know how everything goes.

Best wishes

ive had a positive clear blue digital test and my doctor worked out i was 4-5 weeks but an ultrasound showed nothing an my blood was 8 so im apparantly not pregnant. but a reasearcher at clear blue said that levl to them means i am pregnant and i have a friend who's mom is a nurse an she said she would of said my blod was positive to. im also confused as didnt think it was possible to have a false positive test escpecially clear blue dgital.

The Doctor won't give me the referrel until he knows what's going on with my levels.

I've called several OBGYN's but they all go by doctor referrel. So I can't even refer myself.

On the bright side, still no cramping, spotting or any other signs of miscarriage.

I get my results tomorrow of my most recent beta so just keeping my fingers crossed.

Levels have to start somewhere, and it's to be expected that they would be low in early pregnancy. I've also read blogs where some women have slow rising levels, but go on to have normal pregnancies while others don't. There's a website called misdiagnosed miscarriage. com and it has a bunch of stories about things like that where women were told they were miscarrying, and some were, some weren't.

I also agree that the doctor you saw wasn't very compassionate. It's one thing to tell someone that they've had multiple false positive pregnancy tests, but then to come back and say that their numbers are really low seems absurd to me. All this doctor has done is caused you unecessary stress, in my opinion.

When will you be able to get a referral to an OB/GYN or midwife?

Also, like your previous doctor mentioned, the numbers themselves don't really matter; it's what the numbers do that matters. My midwife never even mentioned my levels being low at my first beta, and it was 199. By the next beta it had more than tripled. Good luck, try not to stress!
