DR B:
Hi again, Im not sure you read my last post, it sais with my previous pregnancy i did not show a positive test either and only a blood test showed pos. Also my partner has a previous child and the mum had 3 tests all neg until a blood test showed pos SO im sorry but my faith in HPT is 0.
Its awful when you are trying with no luck isnt it! It does sound like your pregant from what you said. You need to be more firm when you phone the doctor, just tell them its an emergancy and see what they say. Im sure I have read somewhere that sometimes an ectopic pregnancy can show up a negative test??? Im having an ectopic which is why ive been reading up about it.. My test came up positive but dont think they all do. If it is you need treatment straight away. I hope it isnt and that you end up with a gorgeous little baby at the end of this.
Take care x
Hi!
I'm sorry to say that the home pregnancy tests now a days are so fool-proof and so accurate, that you are probably not pregnant. But it is never wrong to do the blood test, and if this is driving you nuts you should do it. If you have a doctor, just call the office and ask them to order the test for you--you don't necessarily need an appointment.
If your cycle is irregular a lot, it makes me wonder whether you are ovulating consistently. I would ask my patient to try ovulation predictors--they are at the drug store next to the home pregnancy tests. If they are not showing ovulation, that is when you need the doctor's appointment to ask them to check some hormone levels and possibly prescribe something like Femara or Clomid to help you conceive.
Good luck!
Dr B
