Positive pregnancy test but negative blood test...WTF?

Question

Yesterday I posted on yahoo with my results to my pregnancy test and it was a BFP and today I go to the E.R. cos I had light cramping and pink/red blood and I was just worried so they test my urine and my blood and 3 hours later I get the results NEGATIVE, THE dOCTOR THERE AT THE e.r. SAYS TO ME SORRY BUT YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT YOUR TEST WAS FALSE YOUR BLOOD TEST WAS 0 SO YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT i TOLD HER i WAS DUE FOR MY PERIOD THE 8TH AND TOOK THE AT HOME PREGNANCY TEST CLEAR BLUE AND TESTED WITH MY FIRST URINE IN THE MORNING AND SHE said sorry nope you are not pregnant and said it might have been my period or I might have miscarried or never ovulated I know when I ovulate I chart, duh, man was I ever pissed and I found her really rude.. she GAVE ME BACK MY HOSPITAL CARD AND LEFT THE ROOM.
I am so sad and really don't know what to feel right about now, half my family knows and everyone on my facebook knows as well, I went on some msg boards and looked it up and I hear from a lot of ladies that they got positive pregnancy test but negative blood test and that they were indeed pregnant.
So my question is.....Does any one have any stories for me or could maybe shed some light on my situation? Im so bummed out right now.
Sorry for the caps...

If your blood test came back negative, it's probably because you aren't pregnant. The urine test that you saw the faint positive on probably wasn't a positive but more likely an evaporation line. Did you check the test before 10 minutes or was this line present after that? If your period is late, ask your doctor to perform some other tests to find out why. Good luck!

Answer 5

Hey Jenny congrats.



I wouldnt worry right now tbh.

The same thing happened to me the first time i got pregnant. I had a positive pregnancy test but the blood test was negative.

The doc told me i wasnt pregnant and that the tet was wrong.

So home i went and i took not 1 but another 6 pregnancy tests, all were positive. Still the doc didnt believe i was pregnant. Two weeks later i went back for another blood test and it confirmed i was but my hcg wasnt very high, hence the miscarriages.

Give it another two weeks and try another blood test. The doc may have got it wrong. Im so happy for you, at last. Keep me updated on facebook xxx

Answer 6

Oh hun, I am so sorry to hear this. Please know that my heart is with you. I am sorry to say that I have had many heartbreaking, false +'s on blue dye tests such as clear blue+/-. I even got a false + just prior to ovulation on a walgreens generic blue dye test. I got a bold as can be false +, my fertility monitor peaked 4 days later, I ovulated, and AF came to crash the party. So even though false +'s are said to be rare, they are not all that rare on blue dye tests. Many clear blue tests have been recalled because of it. So this is one possibility. One of my dear friends had numerous false +'s in a row with clear blue, and she was not pregnant. So hurtful, I know.



I have read up on stories as well of women that had +hpts and negative bloods but were indeed pregnant. I sincerely pray this is the case for you, and I agree that there is a chance the blood test may have been done incorrectly. The other possibility is that you in fact did suffer another miscarriage. Also, it could be an off cycle, and your hormones are off, hence the spotting. I would have to say if the blood test was done correctly, and hCG is at zero, then sadly, you are not pregnant. If you are still doubting, test with First Response Early Results. They are the ONLY hpt I fully trust. I will never touch another blue dye/clear blue test as long as I live. I will strictly use only First Response. Again, my heart is with you and you will be in my prayers and thoughts. Please keep me posted and let me know if you need anything at all. Hang in there, babe. Many hugs for you.



And by the way, that nurse's behavior/attitude was uncalled for. I would've had a hard time not snapping on her. Good for you for keeping your cool.

Answer 7

Oh Jenny!!! I missed the first part of your post announcing your pregnancy. Congratulations.

I did some research online for you (there is alot of information on +HPT,-BW) and some people agree with the person above me said: it could be too early to tell via blood work, and perhaps you will know more in a few days.

There is also the possibility that you had a chemical pregnancy, which is why it showed up + on the HPT.



Whatever it is, I have my fingers crossed for you and I hope you come out of this with a happy and positive outcome.



xoo good luck. I'm thinking about you

Answer 8

My story is long, but in a nut shell.

I had 5 losses in a row and then my sixth was a beautiful healthy baby.

I was in my mid 30's and had no trouble getting pregnant.

I thought I would NEVER bring a pregnancy to term and was SO stressed.

All my loses were at different stages and the doctor told me it was probably just a string of bad eggs all in a row.

I think you were pregnant but miscarried early.

My advice is to RELAX and just don't try so hard. Anxiety may be causing your losses.

If you are getting pregnant naturally, keep trying at one time it WILL work. Have hope and faith.

When you finally get that child, you will be the greatest MOM ever!

Answer 10

i never thought that was possible but a friend of mine got lots of positive urine tests....then did a bloood test and the doc told her she wasnt pregnant thgat it was neg..but she kept gettin pos urine tests... so she went to another doc and he said i dont know how he got it wrong becuase you are indeed pregnant.



so maybe it was a bad doctor??

try another one...

however if it was 0 then :( unfortnatly your not pregnant...



i know how frustrating this would be for you...so try a diff doctor....

its possible you did miscarry very eraly but had just enough levels to show up on a urine test.... test again in a few days and see

Answer 11

Could be your blood test was performed wrong - try another HPT tomorrow morning, and see what happens. It is fairly unusual for an HPT to be a false positive.



She is correct in that you could have miscarried, but if you had, it's hard to believe your HCG would be zero.



Did she do a pelvic exam or look at your cervix? A lot of doctors don't look at their patients, and rely on chemical tests, but the number one rule of doctoring is ALWAYS LOOK AT THE PATIENT - it tells you a lot.



Anyhow, I'd try another HPT tomorrow morning. Good luck.

Answer 12

I had this happen to me back in may!! I took three home pregnancy tests and they all were positive but my first blood test came back negative. I think that you should just schedule an appointment with an OBGYN just to be safe.

Answer 13

If the blood test was negative you can't be pregnant honey. I'm sorry.

Answer 14
