My 1st test with my daughter was the same way. I waited another week and took another one and it was positive before I could even look at it.

As far as the drinking, you didn't know, so don't worry. I freaked out when I found out because I had gone to a wedding, and bachelorette party at that time, but the doctor told me that it was all fine, you don't drink constantly, and it was.

Keep us posted!

Hi Brittany,
Well, I would take another test in a couple more days. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't expect it (I was on birth control) so I had been out drinking. I freaked out and the dr. told me not to worry that it is very rare that a sporadic drinking within the first few weeks are damaging. Please let us know what happens!

Hello Confused...
first don't drink any more alcohol until you are sure you are not pregnant... are you having any other symptoms? If so or if not you should make an appointment with your doctor or clinic where you go for a test. If you have a money issue there should be a 'pregnancy ministries' or 'life line' type place where you live... they give advice and tests and its free they also counsel you if you need it or want it... but they don't push... just remember to not take anything that could harm a baby until you know for sure you are not pregnant.

Good Luck!! and God Bless you....

my opinion i would take another test. you can't change what you already so just start taking care of yourself as if you are til you find out for sure.

Go see your OBGYN or your regualt family physician and tell him what is going on.

HI BRITTANY YES I AGREE WITH EVRYONE ELSE GO TAKE ANOTHER TEST ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAD SEX AROUND YOUR TIME. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THINGS COULD ALWAYS BE WORSE. I AM GLAD YOUR SON HAS MADE A RECOVERY AND IS DOING WELL. YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE A GREAT MOM. SO CONGRATULATIONS.

I would say that the best thing to do is go to your local Family Planning and get a test done there.
You won't need an appointment.
When I found out that I was pregnant last year, it was a week after New Years, and I had been doing some drinking, but I rarely do any drinking anyways.
My son turned out fine though.
I wish you the best of luck.

i guess you should go get a pregnancy test done at the doctor then. And it would probably be wise to postpone drinking until you have found out for sure. I just found outthat I am pregnant again, and i did some drinking this month, but quit as soon as I knew.

I was alot like you, I din't get my period and I went and bought those tests and they all came up negitive and I think tthat I took like 5 of them lol it took bloodwork to tell me I was pregnant so if I were you I would go see your obgyn and have them do bloodwork on you. And even if you drank alittle bit not alot its not gonna hurt anything. Good luck!

If you have a Dollar Tree around you get one of their pregnancy tests. I took one and it told me I was pregnant at 3 weeks!I believe it's a more sensitive test.

I went through the same thing. I had missed my period and took three at home pregnancy tests and all of them came out negative but I still wasn't having my period. I needed to know one way or another so I called my doctor and she did a blood test. Sure enough I was pregnant. This was twelve years ago though. If your that worried and want to know right now call your doctor and arrange for a blood test. That will truly put your mind at ease.

You may wnat to stop drinking until you know for sure. I agree the best way to find out is go in for bloodwork. I know the dr's here wont se you for a preg until you have a positive on the bloodwork becasue the tests can be wong. Good luck!

ditto the previous entries, but I wanted to add that I was pregnant but didn't know it when my husband and I drank a bottle of champagne to celebrate moving into our new house. My son is completely fine.

Keep in mind that women don't know for at least 3 weeks that they could be pregnant and go about their lives as normal; if you're not trying to get pregnant, it's usually much longer than 3 weeks. Don't worry, but get tested by a doc.

I would stop drinking until you find out if you are pregnant or not. I was lucky that i had my 3 kids before i was 21. I wish you luck. Keep us posted on the results.

i wouldn't worry about drinking all that much. i didn't know that i was pregnant until i was 2 months pregnant. I drank like a fish also, and my daughter is one of the brightest in her class. I wouldn't tell mothers to drink throughout their entire pregnancy, but once you find out to definately stop right away. as for the test. one of my friends took like 20 home pregnancy tests and they all came up negative. then she finally went to her OBGYN and had one done there, not sure if it was a urine sample or a blood test but they confirmed that she was prego and that was that. it's always better to be safe than sorry. so i would definately consult your PCP or OBGYN and great luck to you. let me know if you are!!

hi brittany,
just because a home pregnancy test came out negative you could still be pregnant go to your gynacologist and have them send you for bloodwork that is the only way to know for sure and i wouldn't worry about the drinking if you are pregnant it probably didn't hurt anything i had surgery when i was pregnant with my daughter and didn't know it and she turned out fine good luck with this i hope everything goes ok for you.

you should re-test with a better quality test & and also call you OBGYN. Good luck
