My friend is two weeks late for her period and has been trying since November. She's having symptoms and has had 3 positive home pregnancy tests. She did two positive home tests last week, a couple days later she had a urine test at her doctors, and then the next day she did another home test that was positive. Today she got her urine results back from Doctor and it was negative. For some reason the bloodwork she did last week, they didn't test for pregnancy. She did bloodwork today that was positive, and will go back Wednesday for more to see if the hcg levels went up. Has this happened to anyone before? She has the worst luck for everything and I am praying for her!

Happened to my sister. She had 4 at home with different brands then went to the doc and they said no. Blood test confirmed she was. Her at home test were testing positive at 2 1/2 weeks, doc said theirs normally is accurate at 6 weeks. At home is more accurate than their test for some reason. I can say I'm pretty sure your friend is expecting!!!

If her last bloodwork was positive she is pregnant.

My doctor told us that the home pregnancy tests are pretty accurate; you can have false negative but no false positive.

Congrats to your friends, she is pregnant!

@User4834,

Same thing happening to me, too. Blood and at home are positive, but urine at office negative.

Happened to me with this pregnancy. We had just miscarried and had a D&C... I never got a period and tested at home (positive), went to the doctor and my urine test at the office was negative. They had wanted to do a saline ultrasound as part of a post-op visit to the D&C but we declined because of the risk to a pregnancy (if we were truly pregnant). They did blood work and called me a few hours later with the results (tested 21 in my hormone levels). Then the nurse said technically a positive pregnancy test is 25 or greater... So I tested blood work again the following week, where my levels were in the 300's (increasing as it should). So yes... It happens! And I'm currently 23 weeks with our little man!

Ps) they had first told me it was a false positive because of being so close to our miscarriage and still having pregnancy hormones in my system.

So she can get a false positive depending on the circumstances.

This happened with my daughter. Took a clear blue advanced digital test and it came back positive. We went to a clinic to have it confirmed and they did a urine test, which came back negative. The lady there told me I wasn't pregnant (horrible clinic, wouldn't ever go back). I was traumatized! Went out and bought more tests with different brands and went home and took all of them lol! Every one of them came back positive. I called my actual OB and went on to have blood work done because I didn't believe the lady at the clinic. Bloodwork came back and, yep! Positive! They did a second round to make sure the hcg levels were rising and sure enough they were. My daughter is now 13 months old and I'm so glad I didn't believe the lady at the clinic!!

Sometimes I've heard doctors use the cheap tests that may not pick up your pregnancy til further along, so if she was early in her pregnancy they may not have shown up. This time around I immediately just went in for bloodwork. ;)

@MerlotMorgan,

yes! they use cheap tests (budget reasons of course) because think of how many tests they go through. oddly enough though, I just tested with an 88 cent Wal-Mart test at only 4 days late for my period and it came out positive. I'd hate to think what kind of extremely cheap crap they're using that's giving so many false negatives when an 88 cent Wal-Mart test seems to do the trick.

I'm not in the medical field whatsoever but I always thought bloodwork is the most accurate way to test for pregnancy

Hi ladies,

My period cycle is between 27-37 days but i use an app and it usually comes when the app tells me it will. I usually start cramping the day before I am due. I am now 4 days late. I took a clearblue test on Tuesday morning (1 day late) and it was positive 1-2 weeks. I then took another on Wednesday afterwork which was also positive. Today, 4 days late, i went to the doctor and did a urine test which was negative. She sent me for a blood test but i wont get the results until Monday. I am so confused and upset, I dont know what to do. I still have tender breasts and slight cramping. All advise welcome.

xx

@ShelleyHilton,

About 5 months ago I went to the doc. I’d missed two periods, couldn’t keep anything down for weeks, swollen chest and random crying spells. I wasn’t trying to convince but wasn’t using any contraceptives either. The first test looked negative in the time window, but after going out to run errands I came back to it still on the counter with the faintest hint of a second line. I immediately brushed it of as an evap but took one the next morning and got a faint positive within 3 minutes. Over the week I took 10 test, mix of different brands; all came back with faint but colored, even lines, and they got a little darker each day. Went to my appointment with a couple of my most recent tests in hand to show the doctor, as well as pics from when they were fresh. She dismissed it, as my urine test at the hospital had come back negative. She insisted I was probably just having symptoms due to extreme stress (someone in my family had just passed away unexpectedly). She gave me a pelvic exam and though I will admit I don’t have any experience with it the process seems /off/. Like she rushed through it, she pushed down too hard and too fast, enough to knock the wind out of me and feel like something ‘popped’ inside me. It aches the whole rest of the day. But she was still very insistent I was not pregnant.

That night I went out to dinner with some old friends and had a couple drinks, having even asked the doc specifically if it would be safe. I got a bit sick but overall fine. The next morning I almost fainted getting out of bed. I was dizzy and nauseous, and had pain that doubled me over. I started bleeding badly and was bedridden all day. I passed an embryo before the day was through.

I’ve been on birth control since, as this was not my first miscarriage and I’m incredibly fearful of having another. This month my placebo week came with no bleeding. I’m nauseous and having heartburn, as well as a lot of lethargy, but I refuse to go to the doctor unless I get a BFP out of panic doing so preemptively might once again cause damage.
