Negative blood test after seven positive urine tests ??
Hi,
Today I was 16 dpo (did an ovulation test, and can confirm based on symptoms, I know my body pretty well but could have been 15 dpo too if I ovulated a bit later, it can happen). I was supposed to start my period yesterday and it didn’t start. So this morning I took a pregnancy test on first morning urine. I use cheap 10ui tests I got on Amazon. It’s a huge pack and i have been using them for several months now. I never had problems with it except for the odd evap line if I let myself read it after too long (bad, I know). But usually a negative is white as snow, no doubt possible.
So I test and I see a second line, quite faint but noticeable easily, and pinkish not grey, appear within 2 minutes. Because I can’t believe it and I am also a compulsive tester, I do another one on the same sample. Positive. Then another one. Then another one. In total I took 5 on this sample. All positive within 2 minutes. But the line seems a little too faint for 16 dpo. I know because it would be my second child and for the first one at this stage I had a much darker line. But still. It’s positive and it’s not line eyes. I show it to my mom and several friends, usually I am the only one to see the lines when it’s an evap or I just have line eyes. Everyone sees it too. But, a few minutes after taking the tests I start spotting. Bright red blood. So I think well it’s probably a chemical pregnancy right ?
So I decide to go for a blood test. Before that I do 2 additional tests on second morning urine. Positive too. I get my blood test done approx 3 h after the first urine tests. I wait for the results. I am still spotting during the day but it’s much lighter than my usual first day of period. Sometimes it just stops, but when I am on my period the first day is usually a blood bath right away. So I stay hopeful, maybe it’s just implantation bleeding ? Maybe I ovulated way later than I thought ?
But the blood test results arrives. It’s negative. And not only negative but very very low. It’s less than 0,6. Tonight, the bleeding is heavier and I am in a lot of pain (I have Endo so it’s usual for me but still it may be a little more intense than usual). It’s a full on period now. So I know I am not pregnant at the moment. But it really bothers me. I heard of false positives. I heard of defects on pregnancy tests. But SEVEN positive tests in a row ? Could it have been a chemical and hcg getting so low so quickly ? How can I test positive and be negative on blood test only 3 hours later ? Not only negative but very very low almost non existent ? And if the tests are defective how do you explain 7 defective in a row ? On a batch I used before without any problems ? I am just guttered and flabbergasted. I spent the whole day trying to convince myself that the bleeding could be implantation bleeding and that it could still be a viable pregnancy only to find out I probably was not even pregnant to begin with ?
I am so so pissed off. I threw away the whole box of tests because WTF ? Did some of you experience something like that ?
