Negative test (Pregnant or Not)?

May 7, 2004

I hope I can feed off you guys expertise and get an answer to my

question. I am now 1 week late from my cycle. I experienced some light

bleeding (spotting) for like 3-4 days about 5 days before my cycle was

due. It lasted for only 3 days and then it stopped. My true 7 day,

heavy cycle never came. I have taken at least 2-3 pregnancy test that

all appear negative, I even went in for a blood test at the doctors

office that supposedly tested negative as well. My dilemma is that all

my symptoms still exist. I have dizzy spells, experience nausea, cannot

stomach the smell of some foods, my breast are enlarged and they hurt

and I am extremely fatigued. What in the world can be going on with me

if I am not pregnant? I have read on other sites where there are lots

of women who get negative pregnancy test (urine and blood) and then find

our later on that they are indeed pregnant. Has anyone else had this

experience? Right now I am just extremely confused. Please help.

Thanks all...

I have had this happen a few times when I was not pregnant. I literally made

myself crazy wanting to be pregnant so much.

But I have also tested negative on home and doctors tests when I was early in my

pregnancy.

The only advice I can give is to take exceptional care of yourself. Take your

vitamins and eat healthy, get lots of rest and wait and see. Maybe do another

pregnancy test in a week or 2.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Chrystal,

That was great advice. I just want to know and it is about to drive me

crazy. I tried to get it out of my head, but the symptoms wont seem to

subside. They keep getting worse. I am only about 7 days late and I

know it can sometimes take longer for HCG to show up. I will just be

patient and see what happens over the next few weeks. Thanks so much...

Hi Pamela,

I completely understand what you are feeling! Just recently I had gone 2 1/2

months with no period ... every day I was expecting to find out I was prego!

I took home tests and had both my ob/gyn and pcp do blood tests, which all

came up negative. My ob gave me a Rx for a drug to start my period, which of

course I wouldn't take- because I wasn't certain that I wasn't preg. Well, long

story a bit shorter.... I finally started. It was an odd period once it

started, but at least it let me know one way or another.

If you are wanting to be preg, I wish you the best with this! Just wanted to

let you know that I am feeling for you.... I know it's a very emotional time

for you to go thru! Keep up with your water and vits carefully till you know

(not that it's not important all the time, but you know what I'm saying!) and

try not to worry about it.... the stress only keeps the period away, if that

is what it is.

Let us know how it ends up for you!

Hi Pamela,

Boy do I know how you feel. I had been trying for a year, always

knew immediatly, because I would start like clockwork. This time I

was late. Called my Fertility doc after 3 days late. He had me take

a home preg test, negative. He wouldn't bring me in for blood until

hpt was positive. I did this for a week. Finally I got ticked off

and went back to my obgyn who did a blood test and confirmed

pregnancy. My doc said some people just show preg hormone later.

Also, be concerned about cysts. This can delay your period.

Especially if you are taking clomid or any type of fertility meds.

Maybe you took the bloodwork too early...but a blood test should do it...my

opinion would be just to wait it out another week...by then it sould have come

heavy...now keep in mind if you are pretty regular and you ALWAYS have a heavy

point in your cycle...if not the you might want to test again in a couple of

days...hope this helps...
