    HPT show BFN but blood test BFP?

    My AF is 8 days late and it is never ever late, but HPTs say BFN. Having a blood test tomorrow and won't get the results until Monday. I am going crazy waiting.

    Have any of you had BFNs on HPTs and then later discovered you were pregnant?

    Will a blood test show even the tiniest amount of HCG?

    Thanks!

    Hi hun,

    I hope you're UTD!! I was going through something similar to you lately, where I was 4 days late (and like you I'm never late!) and I got 3 BFNs in the last few days, wondering if I was pg. Doc told me to wait a week before having a BT but AF arrived today Apparently, sometimes the HCG levels are too low to detect on even the most sensitive HPTs.
    My friend at work told me today that she was a week late when she got pg last year, and the HPTs all showed BFN, and then the BT confirmed a positive a week later.

    So there is still a great chance for you hun!!

    Good luck sweets!

    I had a very faint BFP on a HPT, then 3 pos HPT's, then a neg HPT at the Dr's,then a pos BT, then another neg HPT at the hospital then a rise in the HCG levels (from 49-378 then to 620) which went on for a week but I eventually miscarried

    I hope your story is a much more positive one. Wishing you a great BFP and sending out loads of babydust.
    All the best hun

    My GP said to me that HPTs were only marginally less sensitive than blood tests. Good luck though!

    Good luck Hun

    Hope it all works out well for you! I had 3 negative HPT and then a very low Positive on blood, HCG was about 55. As it turned out I had ovulated late after a M/C and bub had implanted later in my cycle. I was 3 weeks 2 days pregnant when that HCG was found although my period was a couple of days late.

    Again good luck!
