anyone had neg hpt after 2 missed periods but was pregnant?????

[no1childminder]

hi, any advice would be great. ive missed 2 periods now, got some pregnancy symptoms (but is it all in my head- even the cheese and onion sandwich with SUGAR!)but taken hpts 4 days late, 12 days late and 4 weeks late but still neg.

my friend scared me and said could it be ectopic but ive googled it and it doesnt sound like it, no pain anywhere. just feel pregnant????

want to know if anyone has had anything similar and what was the outcome?

if i was pregnant id be nearly 9weeks so surely id have enough pregnancy hormone to turn a test positive. am really baffled, and worried case its sumin else!

thanks for taking time to read x

I think the best thing is a trip to the docotor to get a blood test to see if you are or not. If not and you are normally regular you need to ask the docotor why you have missed

[no1childminder]

yes im more than regular, ive been on the pill for 10yrs and it always comes on the exact same day.

dr said he doesnt do pregnancy tests any more as too expensive but as ive missed 2 now hopefully he will. even if he takes blood to test for anaemia il be happy. feel like he isnt as worried as i am!

thank u orangehead

[greedygreedyguzzler]

so are you still on the pill now then? if you have come off then its probably just taking your body a while to get back to normal. when i came off the pill i went about 4 months with no period. HPTs are very accurate and i am sure if you were pg you would have got a +ve result.

[Haribosmummy]

Are you still taking the pill? I think that's really important.

I went to the dr with some symptoms (bloating, being very thirsty etc) Dr. did some tests (not 100% sure what, but took urine and blood samples) and said: Nope, not pregnant.

That was November 07 and my son was born in May 08

PG test didn't come up positive until I stopped taking the pill.

[PinkTulips]

yep, was still getting -ives on hospital tests at 9+4 so it is possible.

head to the docs and they should give you a blood test.

[no1childminder]

yes i am still taking the pill. do u know why that could cause a neg instead of pos?

im guna google it to try to find out further.

thank you very much u 2

[Haribosmummy]

I'm guessing it's because it regulates your hormones??? Not sure, but I was actually stil getting periods when PG with DS (but MUCH lighter than usual) until I stopped taking the pill.

If I were you, I'd stop taking the pill for 72 hours and then take a PG test.

As you are on the pill, I'm guessing a baby is not something you are planning, so I hope you get the result you are hoping for.

But, if were a better woman, I'd probably bet on positive.

[no1childminder]

went to hospital yesterday as my boyf was starting to get really worried about me. they took urine and blood test. bout 5 mins after i gave them the urine i heard someone say 'pregnancy test positive, but very faint'. they then took blood and went for about 45/60min (in this time i went from fear to actually bein excited that i had heard positive) then they came in and said def not pregnant! not 100% sure they were talking about me wen they talked about a positive but i left the hosp more confused than wen i went in!!!
does anyone know whether i can ring them up and ask? or to ask for my blood and urine test results to be sent to me?
going to hosp was no help at all

[Haribosmummy]

Oh, No1childminder - sorry about that.

I think you should stop taking the pill and retest after a minimum of 72 hours.

I know when I went to the drs. I gave blood and urine samples and Dr was 100% sure I wasn't PG (In fact, the pregnancy was only cnfirmed when I went for a scan as they thought I had a tumour!!)

ANd, in my last post, obviously I meant betting not better

[no1childminder]

that did confuse me a bit lol

it was really horrible. i ended up crying (quite hysterically) when i got home think it was just everything getting on top of me- missing periods, feeling pregnant then not, then did again. then on top of that hearing i was (if that was my test they were talking about) then having an hour to let it sink in and get excited bout it, then to be told im def not!

As you can read i am on the pill so wasnt trying but i am a VERY maternal person. ive been a nanny for 6 yrs and now am a childminder so even wen i changed my career i was still in childcare! so being pregnant would be a lovely surprise.

i was hoping for a scan yesterday, or even a dr to fumble around with me but no. as im sooo confused a scan would have really determined whether i was or not. my friend told me i should of lied and said i have strong abdominable pains then they will but i didnt want to lie. im too good, now i wish i did!!

(just noticed how saucy that sounds bout wanting the dr to fumble around with me lol!)

hi iv got 6 kids n on 2 of them i had 3 negative tests over 3 months if thats any help the doctor made me feel dillusional

[no1childminder]

so it def is possible. ive never been pregnant before so this 'feeling' pregnant might not actually be it could it?

i wonder why some pregnancies dont show up pos straight away?

HARIBOSMUM- think i will stop pill for at least 3 days, or even this whole month. thanks for advice.

[no1childminder]

PINKTULPIS- how did you find out you were pregnant in the end? and did u feel pregnant even after negative tests? theres just something niggling at the back of mind!

[tomanykidstoname]

it is def possible the pill could well be affecting the tests because of the hormones its got in too

[tomanykidstoname]

i found out with my first because i had a bleed so they agreed to scan me n with the 2nd i just knew

[PinkTulips]

i had a scan after i went to the docs convinced i was preg and he sent me to hospital.

they did urine and blood quantitive tests, told me my hcg levals were 18 so i probably had been pregnant but i wasn't now, did an internal, said i definitely wasn't preg so sent me for a scan to see if i needed a d&c as i hadn't bled.

dd was perfectly fine, a gorgeous little teddy bear blob with a heartbeat

still have no idea why it happened, although my mother took ages to get a +ive test with me so possibly freak of genetics and we just don't produce much hcg

[Haribosmummy]

Gosh PinkTulips!!! That's even more than my story!!!

Amazing!! How old is your DD now? My DS is now 10 months (where did the time go / doesn't time fly / yada yada) and Dbaby is due in August!!!

No1Childminder - please keep us posted!! It's a spine tingling moment when you hear you ARE pregnant - whether it was planned or not (Neither DS nor current bump were planned in the slightest!!!!)

[PinkTulips]

she's 4 and has 2 baby brothers

ds1 i got a faint positive at 10 weeks and ds2 i got a whopping great big fat line at 5 weeks so my body seems to have gradually learned what to do!

[Haribosmummy]

Haha! better than mine, PT... Found out with DS at 22 weeks and Dbaby at 18 weeks.

And only did the test with Dbaby because I had similar symptoms - bloaty / tired / inability to drink alcohol!!

Still, it makes the whole PG thing pretty short!!!

[PinkTulips]

definitely, my pregs with dd and ds1 were great as i missed most of the first trimester.... ds2's dragged unbelievably!

[no1childminder]

im coming off the pill for this month to see if A it can kickstart my periods again and B to take ur advice HARIBOSMUMMY, and take a test in about a weeks time.

wish me luck!

[LittleMissBliss]

lest us know how the test goes.

[no1childminder]

yeah, will do. thank you everyone for your stories and advice

[no1childminder]

just thinking, now i wish i didnt stop my pill. apparently it can take months for your periods to go back to normal and some women dont have periods at all for a few months, so now if i miss another period i wont know if its the fact ive stopped my pill or if its the same reason why ive missed my last 2! oh dear. nothing is ever easy is it?

[no1childminder]

seeing doctor today so hopefully i can get an answer from him!
