later found out pregnant after negative blood and urine tests?.............

Simple question here, has anyone ever had a negative blood test and negative urine test and went on with their daily routine and a month or so later found out you were in fact pregnant while having ultrasound done. If this has happened to anyone or perhaps someone you know, please respond, I'd appreciate the information. Thanks.

Yes it had happened to me. I had a surgery removal of ovarian cysts in April 30th of 2015, in may I did not get my period and all text came back negative. I mean urine, blood and ultrasound text came back negative. My doctor advised,I should be induced to get my period the next month but my husband kicked against ithe that I should be patient. The next week I became very sick and had a urine text which came positive, I quickly called my doctor she ask me to come in for an ultrasound , the result came out positive, indeed a sacred was found and I was 6 weeks gone. I had a healthy baby girl at exactly 40 weeks.

Idk really...I'm experiencing some issues I am confused about as well...I know this post is old but I couldn't help but comment...I had what I THOUGHT was my period last month on the 27th of June....It ended on the 30th tho and it should've lasted til the 4th of July...I have oily skin, fatigue, leg cramps, baccaches, headaches,lightheadedness,BAD indigestion problems, continual upchucc feeling, and an INCREASED appetite, small twinges(feels almost like gas or small kiccs), and my breasts are usually sore 12-10 days before AF and THIS month, they are hardly even ssore, gassy, and I'm usually grumpy before AF and I've been letting a lot of things slide with no WANT to react...I'm waiting on my menses to start on the 25th because I took to pregnancy tests and they BOTH came bacc negative...I have normal periods 28 days, NO MISHAPS, so this is odd, but I guess I'm just waiting it out...if anyone can add any help please let me know...thanks and baby dust to all...

My urinating has picced up drastically as well
Im 16 days late went for bloods and they negative so got to go back Monday if that's negative i got to have an ultrasound
I'm going thru the same. Difference is, I had a stillborn 8th May at 37weeks and have been desperate to conceive. I tracked ovulation days, and was due on 16th July, my period never arrived and I've been feelin so tired, irritable, gassy, peein which seems like 50 times a day, hungry etc etc, all signs pointing to the fact I may have caught...only, I woke up this morning to brown blood, a little more then spotting and slight cramps :( I have taken a HPT (just the cheap strip ones) and it has came bak negative. Does anyone know if I may be pregnant or has been through a similar situation and was expecting? I just really want to be pregnant again and was slowly convincing myself I was more and more each day I was late. Feel really disappointed :(
I'm 22 days late when I was 13 days late I took a urine test and blood test and everything came back negative now I'm 22 days late no sign of my period been feeling very moody and aggravated been seeing like a creamy watery like discharge I have no idea what to think

It's possible you are. Coventional Doctors go by only one marker of pregnancy, HCG, and a static snapshot of what they see in ok ne single moment. Many women, including myself had negative blood and ur in ne tests, even an ultrasound that was negative. Come to find out the fetus was hiding behind a fibroid and was the reason why it was not seen. Get to a competent acupuncturist to help reduce fibroids and trust what you feel in your body. I've learned doctors are not the gods we make them out to be. Did you know high HCG could also mean cancer so just because someone has it present does not mean pregnancy either. So it's better to have a false negative than false positive. Blessings!

Trust your body ladies!  If something seems off even by a little research but make sure to head to the doctors for an exam and tests.  I think you've got what I have, PCOS, it'll cause for a negative urine and blood test for most women they won't get a positive until 3-6 months where some get it sooner or not at all.  The BEST thing to do is insist on an ultrasound since with the hormonal imbalance that's the only sure fire way to get a confirmation on pregnancy.

Hi! I'm 27, and I'm about 2 1/2 weeks late now. I've never been this late in my entire life. I did so many hpt, all came as negative, also did a blood test which was negative too. Going crazy over thinking what's wrong with my body. Don't have any symptoms like nausea/morning sickness/ tender breast.. But getting tired soon and feeling hungry all the time. Also I'm having some cramps in my lower abdomen as if I'm about to start my periods but nothing's happening! I've never been pregnant before, so I do not know how it would feel...please help!

Hi, it's almost 9 weeks of not getting periods. Got both hpt n hcg tests negative. Symptoms are tiredness, nausea, craving, etc which are very similar with pregnancy symptoms n having white discharge too(not much) it's like creamy type whenever I go to urine only. Also getting backpain. My doc have primolet to get back my periods. I have seen same type of questions n issues in internet. After 3 months n negative tests they got confirmed with pregnancy by ultrasound scanning. Is it really works to go ahead with ultrasound to get what's happening exactly.
Need Suggestions

I just read my patient portal and I'm there was my lab results and seen hcg levels of 0.5 and 0.00-5.00 the Secretary said well I'm not sure let me ask the doctor. She told me after that it means negative. But couldn't it mean I'm too early? And also some woman natural hcg levels are low anyway. Should I retest at home and do a home pregnancy test?
Avatar universal
I have a friend who had negative blood tests throughout her whole pregnancy.after a certain point in pregnancy, the hormones go back down low enough so its not detected. Sometimes people test too early. And for some, the waiting until after you miss your period is too long and your hormones go down.everyone is different.always check with your doctor if your periods get out of whack.I love you guys and wish babies on you all.

People sure do get fired up about this.  Clinical trials involve a certain patient population by definition.  But yes, a small group of people can make up a study.  

As you said unicorny, you are one of that 1 percent.  On this forum, we have lots of women who get negative pregnancy tests and still want to believe they are pregnant.  99 percent of them are not.  But then there are people like you that are.

I'm glad you got it sorted out and I'm sure it is hard to find out you are pregnant at 20 week!  Exciting though.  Hope all goes well/went well with the pregnancy.

good luck

Someone obviously thinks "clinical trials" means results from a vast portion of the population and not a few not-so-random control groups of 20-40 people, meant to represent the population at large, which is pretty laughable.

There's lies, there's damn lies, and then there's statistics...

I am yet another one of the 1%'rs, who after getting 5 negative hpt results, two neg urine tests one neg blood test at the obgyn, was found to be about 20 weeks PREGNANT via ultrasound just two days after the last negative pregnancy test at the clinic..
So it looks like my fibroid/perimenopause/cannot be because those tests are 99% accurate is blissfully unaware that she didn't exist ...yet, I presented every sign, down to cervical position, 20 lb unexplained weight gain, spotting in place of a formerly dead-on 29 day cycle, "enlarged uterus", swelling, nausea, copious white vaginal discharge and elevated blood sugars.
Ladies, go with your gut and keep insisting on a scan.

First, I don't know what you are referring to with that first sentence.
And I don't think you know what you are talking about.
You were using the percentage rate from what the otc boxes say.  That is what I was referring to in my post to you.  
How do you know it is not very common?  How do you know they are accurate for everyone?
Performing a test properly is not rocket science.  Timing when to take a test requires some thought.
Choosing a test takes some thought.  Some are old, not sensitive enough, don't detect every hcG variant, have been exposed to elements...there are even whole lot numbered tests that have failed (as per the research I provided below).
Regardless as to whether it was an old post or not, you should not be or 'have been' giving out opinions without research based facts to back them up because they were wrong.  You posted wrong information.
They need to go to the doctor and trust their own bodies.  And if the doctor works against them, find another doctor.  Ultimately, a pregnancy has to be confirmed by an ultrasound.  As I said, our bodies have the same organs but they are so very, very different.  They work differently, come from different gene pools, have different fathers, different stresses, and the list goes on and on.  Every pregnancy is different.  Every symptom, every ounce of our beings---different!
They may not be pregnant, but something else could be wrong.  They may need to see a doc just to learn how to educate themselves about reproduction and their own bodies.  
That is what you should have been telling them.
Not what another woman says just because that woman has had children already.  There is a lot of current research out there.  No, a woman who is stressing about pregnancy should not self diagnose.  But, they should self educate.
Researchers for The National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Library of Medicines post their findings on a website that has links to their articles.
http://www.pregnancylab.net/hcg-variants/
http://www.pregnancylab.net/false-result/
Point being, facts should be presented with researched proof otherwise it is just conjecture.  There is more to what the otc box says than the average consumer can interpret.
If women don't educate themselves, they get dismissed by others and even by doctors and nurses who miss things.
You don't need to respond back to me.  I will not be on this board anymore.  I just saw it and it made me angry--so I posted.
But, I doubt someone like you cares.  People just don't anymore.
