HELP PLEASE!! Positive urine tests, negative bloods???

[ciara.e]

Hey guys.

I'm so confused here. Slightly devastated at the same time.

I've had a trillion urine tests which have all come up positive. i was worried that the line wasn't getting darker.. but different tests are showing darker lines than others. The important thing is that they're getting darker, slowly.

So I had a blood test and got the results tonight, and they show that i'm not pregnant at all. I just know that it's wrong, because i have every symptom.. especially the morning sickness.. holy moly!!

i had an internal exam and the doctor told me that i look pregnant from that view...extremely high cervix, closed and purple etc. period is late, all the symptoms are there, urine tests are all clearly positive, but the blood test shows hcg is only 2 which means not pregnant. He suggested I may have had a miscarriage but i haven't bled and my symptoms are still present, along with urine tests taken even today are still positive.

I'm very heartbroken, because the only reason i was having this test was to make sure it isn't another ectopic.

Has anyone else had, or heard of anyone who has had negative blood work but still had a positive outcome? I mean, i JUST did a POAS test and it's more positive than it was yesterday! My boobs are soo much bigger that i can't wear half of my tops, m/s is violent, dehydrated, extreme exhaustion, larger nipples, more CM, had implantation bleeding and ovulation spotting, the normal cramps are there, the HORRIBLE sense of smell is back... oh too much to list... it's all there.

My DP thinks that the test is wrong as he's so certain i'm pregnant. HELP!! lol, someone??

oh hun, I have no idea. I do hope there's a mix up or something.

I have just been in a similar situation! Except I had very faint urine tests and negative blood. However the fact that you have had multiple dark urine tests is promising. And apparently blood tests can be wrong, especially seeing as you are still very early on. I really hope you are pregnant and not experiencing an early loss. Good luck!!

I am sorry Ciara you must feel really upset and confused.

A quantative BHCG will give you a value of the hormone level in your blood. If that is 2 that is classed as not pregnant by most labs.

If you are still getting positive urine tests I am not really sure what is going on there. The depth of the line is not important - tests getting darker do not necessarily indicate a viable pregnancy - just as feint lines do not necessarily indicate a non viable pregnancy.

I am a little bit dumbfounded as to why you have positve tests - the tests routinely used in a drs surgery are usually about 50miu which is why some people using early response tests at home will get a negative at the doctors. Simply because often home tests are more sensitive. This is because the rate of "chemical" pregnancy is high - & these preganancies typically are lost around or just after a period would have been due.

If I were you. I would go to another doctor. I would tell them what happened and demand a repeat quantatative Bhcg. This will give you a figure. If that again says 2 - I suggest that something else is going on. It is very rare for HCG to be present chemically without pregnancy.

So, go to the Docs again tomorrow and ask for it to be urgent. That way you'll get the result tomorrow.

Just a thought. When did you have the bloods taken for this test???

If it was a few days ago it's possible that the little cells hadn't implanted yet and thus your body had not begun to produce HCG...

hi guys

thanks for the responses. My doc told me to wait another 4 weeks to get blood test again. I don't know... i'm not sure if i should get another doctor to order tests tomorrow.. or wait the 4 weeks and see if AF comes... I'm just so confused and sad.

i have been doing a search on a web search engine and found other forums from other places where women have had similar experiences and found out a few days or weeks later' that they were in fact pregnant and have since had their healthy babies... I'm hoping so much that's me... but i think i might be clutching at straws here.

You're probably right Inanna.. I probably do need to get these results back asap with another test.

Thanks for the responses... sorry i just don't know how to respond.. i'm still in shock and denial.

Jodi, i'm hoping it was a mix up! But i'm not confident that would have happened either..

MM - i might be joining you in the ttc forum again soon, i guess... I don't know... I guess there's only one way to figure this out.. and that's another blood test isn't it?

Dont know about you but for me waiting another 4 weeks would be a nightmare. Maybe give it another week and do another urine test/see if your period arrives?? I've just been through this myself and the waiting to know one way or another is horrible

hi ciara,

i had a similar thing happen to me with the hcg levels dropping.

At 4 weeks and 4 days (Tuesday this week) I woke up and had no symptoms like the day previous, i just knew something was up so i did a pee test and it was there but feint. I freaked and thought it should have been a darker line so i waited until later in the day and peed again and it was even more feint, like nearly a BFN but not quite. That was Tuesday and now its been 24 hrs and i just began to bleed now. I knew yesterday in my heart that it was gone even though i had a blood result of >42 hcg on monday.

Since your symptoms are still strong and you still have a BFP, you must still be producing high levels of hcg, im totally baffled.

Perhaps go and see another doctor tomorrow.

My doctor sent me to an ultrasound today to see if there was a gestational sac but i didnt go, i know mine is gone.

I think its the only way you will be able to know whats going on is if you have an ultrasound and see if theres a sac. They apparently can tell whether the pregnancy is viable at 4 weeks but you cant see much else. Just the tiny circle of the sac and whether its growing something.

Good luck hun, I will keep you in my prayers and im here to chat anytime. xox
