I went to the doctor and took the urine test but while taking the test I drunk water to produce more urine and it came back negative. But the main reasons that I think that I am pregnant is because my stomach has been getting bigger and I have stretch marks and i've been more tired thsn usual and I've been hungry in the middle of the night and I've been have weird dreams lately also and I have a black line on my stomach and I've been feeling things in my stomach and my stomach is hard.

Does water effect HCG level detection in pregnancy tests? Can you feel fetal movements at 15-16 weeks?

Ever hear of condoms?

Hello there honey.

You know, there is a very good chance that you are not pregnant at all. At your age it is normal for your periods to be irregular and even to skip one once in awhile. Do you know when the first day of your last period was? Have you been using any kind of birth control?

It is true that a negative pregnancy test can be wrong but if you were that far along (15-16 weeks) it would NOT be negative, no matter how much water you drank. I do not understand why the doctor did not do a blood test. That would tell you for certain and you should have the results in one day. You see, the urine test is looking for the presense of HCG, the hormone that your body produces during pregnancy and to be as far along as you say you are the levels should be quite high. No amount of water is going to change that. If the hormone is present, the test will pick it up. What gives you a false negative is taking the test too early. If your last period was over three months ago there would have been sufficient amounts of hormone to make the test positive. It is really odd that even though the urine test was negative no further testing was done.

Why didn't the doctor do a physical exam? Did you tell him how long it has been since you have had a period? Why on earth didn't he follow up with a blood test? That would have been the thing to do. When ever the patients feelings and the tests do not concur then something else should be done. If you were my daughter I would have insisted on a physical exam and a blood test, possibly an ultrasound. There are just too many unanswered question here.

Have you been having any other symptoms of pregnancy? Are you nauseous? are you getting up at night to go the the bathroom alot?

You are actually pretty early to be feeling movement, especially with a first baby. We usually tell mothers to expect to feel something between 16 and 22 weeks, so you are ahead of schedule in that department.

I just hate to have you so scared and upset when there are still so many unanswered questions. If there is some chance that you are pregnant you need a blood test, an internal exam and an ultra sound. If you are as far along as you think you are there will be a clear image from an ultrasound and a clear heartbeat. Yet none of these things were done. There is something missing here.

Please make a telephone call to the doctors office and tell them what your concerns are, see what they say. If, for instance you tell them that you have not had a period in 15 - 16 weeks they ARE going to take it seriously and do some more testing. You need to go back to the doctor and get some answers. It is important that you find out one way or the other. If you are pregnant then you need to start taking really good care of yourself. It is essential that you eat well and take prenatal vitamins, but first you need some additional information. Call the doctors office and talk to the nurse if you can not get through to the doctor and insist on getting some answers. You have a right to know why you have not had a period for so long if you are not pregnant! I know this seems like a lot to deal with and you may want to get your parents to help you with this since they are aware of the situation.

Feel free to write to me if you feel like you have questions that you did not get answers to, I will be happy to help you.

Talk to your parents again and tell them what you have said on here, they love you and I know that they want what is best for you.

Take care honey and try not to worry. Everything will turn out for the best. Your best help here should come from your parents and you need to be honest with them and tell them what your concerns are. Talk to them about the things I have mentioned and they will surely see that more needs to be done.

I hope to hear from you.

Blessings

The amount of water you have drunk shouldnt really affect the test, but you should really try and do the test first thing in the morning, when your urine is most potent. This is the most reliable time to get a test.



I would either buy a home pregnancy test and do it at home in the morning or go back to the doctors and try and get a appt for 1st thing in the morning.



You can start to feel the baby kicking from 15 weeks, but even then most people dont feel it till later on, the line down your tummy is a sign of pregnancy and so is the stretch marks and tiredness. I really do think you should go and drop into your local well woman of family planning clinic, they will do all of the necessary checks and help in anyway possible. Theses places are also private and confidential so no need to worry about your privacy.



I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope that you get through this fine. You are very young and not keeping the baby would be understandable considering your age.

It's possible that you watered down your urine, causing your test to be negative. Have you taken an over-the-counter pregnancy test? I would recommend doing that. Take it first thing in the morning, and don't drink a lot of liquids before bedtime. Your HCG levels should be more concentrated this way so you'll get an accurate result.



If a urine test still comes out negative, I would ask your doctor for a blood test.



You can feel early movements at 16 weeks, yes. Usually, they're more of a fluttering than a hard kick, but you could be feeling fetal movement if you are, in fact, pregnant.

Please go to a doctor soon and get a Blood Test done. There are two types of blood tests:



1. A quantitative blood test measures the exact amount of hCG in the blood and

2. A qualitative hCG blood test gives a simple yes or no answer to whether you are pregnant or not.



A blood test at anytime is more accurate than home pregnancy test. A quantitative blood test, usually called a beta hCG test, measures the exact units of hCG in the blood. That means it will detect even the most minimal level. There is another type of blood test sometimes called a qualitative hCG test. This is a test that simply gives a yes or no answer to whether you are pregnant.



Wishing You all the Luck with Good Wishes! :)

your not pregnant if the urine test was negative at 15 weeks you couldent dilute the hcg what a load of c rap you are worrying yourself into thinking you are and you are getting stretch marks because you are eating more quite often girls your age have a growth spurt if the test says negative you are not pregnant if there is enough hcg in your system to cause that dark line there is well and truly enough hcg in your system to show up on a pregnancy test even the s hitest ones.stress less and stop haviin unprotected sex gees girls now days GROW UP
2007-01-19 02:26:19 UTC
Go see your doc and take another test. I hope for your sake your not pregnant we had to have electronic babies at school for a week its as close as you can get to the real thing and it was hard. It wouldn't hurt to tell your parents or the one u trust the most they will find out eventually and you will need their support and love. There could be other things that would cause this and some people can actually trick their body into showing signs of pregnancy. Good luck i hope you get the result you want.

If you think you are pregnant and you took yourself to the doctors for a test you should have told the doctor the symptoms you have been having. Doctors are there to help you. Water won't affect the hcg levels especially if you think you are 15-16 weeks!!!! And yes you can feel fetal movement at that age as well. Go back to the Doctor and tell them everything and sort out your situation. If you are having sex, you will have to deal with this situation in person with a health professional not by the internet!
2007-01-26 07:29:55 UTC
It really sounds like your pregnant. I don't see how water would make it negative i have had two kids and i drank lots of water and never had a test come up negative. I would call a OBGYN soon and have blood work done just to make sure. And it's possible to feel movement at 15-16 weeks. Call your doctor and make an appointment for blood tests. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

Umm, yeah I think that you kinda need to either go to the store and get a test or go back to the dr. I mean have you had any more periods? And yes, you can feel fetal movements as early as 16 weeks. I mean has your parents not noticed this bodily change of yours? You should definitely do something now, especially if you are pregnant, you need to be having regular prenatal appt. and on prenatal vitamins.

With those symptoms you probably are prego. The amount of water you drank it doesn't matter it would still be positive or negative. You need to go to the drugstore and pick up a pregnancy test one that says pregnant or not pregnant. This way your not depending on a line. Definitely would advise you to go to the obgyn doctor someone who specializes in this field. So you can be sure that you are or not. Family doctors are not specialized in this field. Good luck!!

2007-01-19 02:23:52 UTC
First of all inform your parents that is the most important thing to do.



Then carry out a home pregnancy test to see for sure if your truly pregnant.



From what you have mentioned if you are pregnant it sounds like you may be further along than you think.



Be brave my friend. If you feel you cannot confide in your parents try confiding in your favorite teacher or a competent (trust worthy) adult.



If your not pregnant you should see your local doctor to see what could be causing these problems.



Don't worry my friend things are never as bad as they first seem.



Good luck

Heartbreaking. a million)- TAKE THE try! 2)- do you already understand how a lot artwork that is to augment a touch one, highly at your age? If the daddy is worked up he likely in basic terms would not understand how complicated it would want to be for both of you to augment the newborn. 3)- in case your being pregnant try famous that you're pregnant then you definately might want to communicate up faster somewhat than later because any determination might want to get more effective complicated the further alongside you're on your being pregnant. 4) no matter in case your bf can bypass in with you is thoroughly as a lot as your relatives and his. yet why in the international have you ever no longer taken the try yet? Take the try. with slightly of success that is going to ensue adverse and also you'd be more effective careful next time. do no longer threat getting pregnant at your age. i'm a lot older than you're and that i'm nonetheless so no longer everywhere close to waiting to augment a newborn. you've your total existence beforehand of you.

From a nurses view, I would say that you are probably pregnant. If you went to the doctor very early on the test could have come back negative if it was late in the day and you had flushed your system with a lot of water. Some women dont have a pronounced amount of hormone in their system early on.

If all of those symptoms are trully happening PLEASE get prenatal care. It is soooooo important early on and for your sake too. Since you are so young your body has not completly matured and you can have so many complications. You need to tell your parents ASAP. If you are not comfortable doing by yourself ask a trusted adult to help you, or go to your local planned parenthood office and they can guide you. Good luck honey and god bless
2007-01-25 19:12:48 UTC
You really should take the test first thing in the morning,(with the FIRST time after you wake up) that is the best time. At 15-16wks yeah that's about when i started feeling my kids move when i was pregnant.You should go get a blood preg test,that is better then a pee test.Talk to your mother and tell her about your changes w/ur body.



Good luck!!

2007-01-19 02:04:43 UTC
drinking lots of water might have affected the result of the test. 15 - 16 weeks is very early to feel movements but it is possible. Go and get a home pregnancy test to know for sure and if you are them immediately speak to your parents. I know it won't be an easy conversation but if you are 4 months pregnant it's going to be pretty obvious to everybody before long. If you haven't had a period in 4 months either then it's quite likely you are pregnant and you really need to know for sure and decide what to do next.



Good luck

well first thing you need to do is tell the father and then get a at home pregnancy test. if the results say you are pregnant then you should tell your mom right away she'll be a little mad about being a grandma but she will most likely support you and help you but you do have to relies that having sex before marriage is wrong and stuff like this could happen be care full and good luck.

Yes, byt then you should be able to start feeling fetal movement. It's usually described as feeling butterflies in your stomache.

Yes, water can affect the results of any kind of urine test.

Try to get a home test and take it first thing in the morning.

Home pregnancy tests are most accurate in the morning when you first wake up. Take another test first thing in the morning.



The symptoms you're describing are symptoms of pregnancy. However, usually with a first pregnancy you can't detect fetal movements that early - they feel like butterflies in your stomach.
2007-01-19 02:06:35 UTC
well baby girl the amount of water u drink doesn't matter ur stomach is getting bigger because u just said u r eating more i think u have worried yourself into believing u r pregnant everyone has a black line At 15 weeks u can feel slight movement and ur mind is a very powerful weapon and u could possibly b having a false pregnancy
lucille692003
2007-01-19 02:05:06 UTC
Water does not do anything to the test. you don't feel them move at 15-16 week you would have to be father alone then that. go to a different doctor and get a nother check. I hope your parents are helping you they need to know. Your to young and it's hard takeing care of a baby that young.
2007-01-19 06:43:29 UTC
I sincerely doubt this is a real question, but just in case I'll just say that I HOPE TO GOD you are NOT pregnant because if you aren't aware that DRUNK is not that past tense of of drink then you shouldn't be allowed to raise a child. The public school systems are a miserable failure.

you dont normally feel the baby moving around that stage of pregnancy...... especially with your first baby! its normally around 20 weeks!

I would go back to the doctor u saw and explain and ask for a nother test to be done!

NEXT TIME save your self the pressure and use CONDOMS>>> in fact ya to young to be having sex any way!

2007-01-25 08:59:45 UTC
well babyg that could be very possible that you are pregnant but 14 is kind of young for that young ladie was the sex you had worth what has happened but good luck in the future what you do because even if you had sex at 14 it isnt avery good thing
2007-01-19 02:15:59 UTC
Are you kidding me. How in the world could you not know! Stomach getting bigger, stretch marks, food cravings. You need help and for a 14 y.o..... lord have mercy!
Ashley
2007-01-19 02:03:19 UTC
you shouldn't be feeling major fetal movements at 15-16 weeks



also, if you believe you are that far along, you would have had to drink a boatload of water to dillute your urine to an extent beyond testing levels



i think you need to see a shrink - and stop having sex (at least unprotected sex) for at least a few years

Don't guess! Go to a drugstore and purchase an over-the-counter test. If negative, speak to your doctor about your concerns.

i think what you need to do iso to a hospital and let them do the thing where they put that thing on your belly nd look at the computer to see if there is anything inside of you . i think that that is the best way to be sure you are not pregnant . hope i could help .

well, the right thing to do would be to ask your parents, they need to know, They wont be mad at you, Much, lol. But have you been getting morning sickness? And have you taken a preg. test? also i don't know for sure but i don't think drinking water would affect the results.

2007-01-19 02:04:33 UTC
YES, TOO MUCH WATER WILL WEAKEN THE HCG LEVEL WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE NEVER TO DRINK LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER BEFORE A PREGNANCY TEST.



I HOPE YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT!! TOO MANY YOUNG GIRLS ARE HAVING BABIES OUT OF WEDLOCK AND IT'S RIDICULOUS!! WITH ALL THE INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE, YOU OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER.



TALK WITH YOUR PARENTS. IF YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT, GREAT AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL NEXT TIME!! IF YOU ARE, I PRAY YOU GET THE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU NEED.
