Has anyone had a negative pregnancy test and then actually been pregnant ?

[tengreenbottles]

Yeah i know im clutching at straws on this but i have history of it , negative results not straw clutching ! If my calculations are right i am between one and two weeks late and i did a test and its negative . With my first child i had a false negative early on and it wasnt until i was nearly 12 weeks that i got a positive . I know they are supposed to be 99% accurate though

[ohIdoliketobebesidethe]

Yup. dc3 1 week late nothing. 2 weeks late BFP.

[MostlySockPuppets]

I did, but according to scan dates I wasn't pregnant when I missed my first period,, it was when I missed my second but DS was born 10lb5oz (induced also) so I think there may be a possibility I was pregnant 1st time, if that makes any sense?

I was 2 weeks late and tested on a wednesday morning and it was a BFN so I gave up hope. I was still late by the sunday so again I tested and got a BFP I'm now 10 weeks pg and just had a scan showing my 'baby' is fine and healthy so there is hope!

[twoluvlykids]

yes, happened with my 2nd dc. I knew i was pg, but the tests didn't agree with me. can't remember exact dates/timings, and they changed her due date 3 times!

according to my calculations, she was 10 days late and a healthy 8lb at birth.

Me, my negative test is now 18 years old. He's the only one of my six I tested negative with.

[abraid]

Yes, at the doctor's.

I kept telling them I was because the Boots test had shown positive, but their test showed negative, so my ten-year old daughter is a figment of my imagination.

[tengreenbottles]

right well in that case im going to leave it till the end of next week until i test again and then i will buy one of those all singing and dancing digital ones

[chocablock]

percent that's really interesting that you tested negative with only one of your 6 children. I have an 8 month old DD and when pregnant with her I did the test at about 3 days late (I think) and it was positive. Now I am 4 days late, did a test (a cheap Boots one) and it was negative. Weird. Anyway I am happy if I am pregnant and happy if I'm not. Let us know if you are pregant or not tengreenbottles!!

[CaroleService]

Yes!

[lisad123]

Happened with my first. I didn't get a positive result till nearly 12 weeks! Failed 9 tests!

[sunnysunchild]

Yep me too, negative test and actually had what I thought was a normal period, but a bit lighter, bleeding started the day after I took the test. Realised something was up about 3 weeks later. Am 38 weeks now..

[Tonksforthememories]

Yes, with DD2 and DS. With DD2 I didn't get a positive till I was 3w late, and with DS I was 2w late when i finally got a BFP.

I wouldn't bother with the digitals btw, you'd be better off with a first response or similar.

[scentednappyhag]

I've missed two periods now, 3 negative results, done a week apart each time, 3 different brands, doctor said on Wednesday that based on my symptoms I'm 'probably pregnant' and to go back for blood tests in 4 weeks if I'm still getting negatives I feel your pain OP!

[nannyl]

One of my best friends did

a super sensitive clear blue told her she wasnt pg.... she was!!!

[bugsylugs]

scented are you thinking you maybe 6 weeks if so leaving it another 4 weeks beforea blood test is then leaving it really fine to get a scan date I would ask for 1 earlier. Yep know a lady who tested neg kept telling Dr's she was pregnant ( had been a few times before) even cons said she wasn't initial scan missed baby found out at 36 or so weeks!!! oops

[scentednappyhag]

Bugsy- I did suggest the to the doctor, but she seems convinced I won't need a blood test anyway but feeling sick and rubbish for no proven reason is starting to drive me up the wall!

[waspandbee]

Really interested in this. Period 10 days late, three tests showed negative, but feeling sick and a bit grotty, same as when pregnant last time. And we had lots of sex around ovulation. hmmm. not sure what to do...

[roastparsnipsandbrusselsprouts]

Yes. Dh nearly refused to buy me another test a week later as he thought I was just upsetting myself. I knew I was pregnant though and ds is now 7.

I hope you get the result you want.

[pregnantpause]

Three pregnancys three , well no about 30, negatives. Clear blue and first response, i thought that perhaps they make them unreliable so that you buyp more in the frantic 'please let me be pregnant' stage. They got a fortunę off me.

[mrspaulalunn]

I'm 3 months late, last LMP 19th sept. I've done x2 tescos tests both -ve. No symptoms just so tired and a very bloated tummy.

[chocablock]

Well I will leave it a few more weeks or maybe longer and test again. Don't want to waste any more money on tests!!

[IHeartKingThistle]

I Tested at 4 weeks and got a negative with dd. went on holiday, drank, went on extreme roller coasters, felt rubbish. Didn't occur to me to test again for another 4 weeks!

[galwaygal]

Both my mum and sister each had a pregnnacy where they never got a positive test. Mum was finally checked at 3 months (visual of cervix as they did then) and found to be pregnant, my sister finally got a scan at 4 months and despite continued negative test, there was the baby clear as day on the screen.

So it is possible to be pregnant and never have a positive test, however it is unusual. I hope all the lovely ladies here wondering "if" that you all find out soon, as not knowing is hard.

[Mistique2470]

Finding this chat v interesting, I'm 8 wks late and 4 negative pregnancy tests but somehow I feel I am. V bloated, regular cramps, more trips to toilet & run down. Gonna test once every wk.
I read too that if ur on medication it can effect the results, which I am.
Fingers crossed!!!
