Ok, so I my period started on the 14th of March ( which made me 8 days late from my regular date) On the 30th I started feeling really bad. Sore tender heavy breast headaches overall ill feeling. I'm like it's too soon for another period, what's wrong? So the next day I took a test(store brand) it came out positive. In denial, cause it was too early to detect HCG, I took a digtal test the following day and it read "not pregnant" By mid week, I notice my breast changing, darkening, broken veins and heavier than usual to the point I'm sleeping in a bra. Foods are tasting strange and I have been craving for the same thing every day for lunch, I'm very tired and going to sleep as soon as I'm home from work. I call the Dr and after explaining I was told to take another test on yesterday and to come in on Monday for a blood test, if this one was negative. Needless to say, this third test was negative. Has this happened to anyone else? What are the possibility of having a negative blood test?

What can I do next?

Stressing is pointless. Just go to the doctor tomorrow and get solid, medical information. In the meantime enjoy your day!

How frustrating. You're stuck in that halfway place - you have to act as if you are pregnant (making any nutritional changes, avoiding alcohol, etc.) if you would continue the pregnancy, and you also have to act as if you are not pregnant (avoiding sexual activity or using a non-chemical method of contraception).

I wouldn't keep taking home tests. I'd wait it out until your Monday appointment, or go to a local walk-in clinic (although it's Sunday so whatever blood they draw probably won't go to the lab until Monday anyway). If your blood test is positive, you have your answer. If it's negative, you have one answer and a whole bunch of new questions. Your doctor will probably order more blood work or send you to an endocrinologist to run some hormonal tests. There are a lot of reasons why this could happen, hardly any of them life-threatening.

I know it doesn't help for people to tell you to relax and stop stressing, but it doesn't help you to keep doing it either. I think back to our mothers and grandmothers, waiting and waiting to find out. Today we seem to want instant info. You even took a test before it could be accurate, so you understand how hard it is to be patient. What I think would be a bad idea is for us all to weigh in with a bunch of possible diagnoses - you're close to getting answers, so try to get some sleep and also to write down your questions and take that pad of paper with you to the doctor.

See what the doctor says and try not to stress.
When I got pregnant I had zero zip nada symptoms.
I hardly believed I was pregnant in spite of a positive blood test.
It wasn't real for me until I heard the heartbeat.

I would call the number on the product and ask them, as they would know the stats (not us). We're moms.

It can happen - Google it. Protein, drugs, etc. It's rare but happens. The doctor should have told you this.

So you are trying to say that you think you could possibly be weeks pregnant, and you are experiencing so many body changes that you feel ill, need to wear a bra to sleep, notice huge breast changes, etc? Ummmmmm . . . no.

It's all in your head - even if you are pregnant, it is still all in your head.

If the doctor says you aren't pregnant, you probably aren't.

False negatives happen all the time with at-home pregnancy tests, but false positives are rare because pregnancy tests measure certain chemicals in the urine (according to a pharmacist). So there's a definite possibility that you're pregnant. Only one way to find out for sure -- go to the doctor.
