Negative HPT, but still pregnant?

Has anyone had the experience of having negative HPT(s) but later confirmed that they were indeed pregnant? How a far along were you? Did you confirm by blood test or ultrasound?

@Neverland101,

@neverland101 hard for me to pin point as I'm still having monthly bleeding although shorter than normal

HPO neg, 3 weeks later bloods at dr I was 5 weeks.

Some women don’t get positive at home and only get it with the blood test.

Could be too early to tell through pee

@Aussiecookiequeen181921,

Thank you for sharing

This happened to my cousin. She took a hpt, it said negative. She gained 9lbs, had bleeding each month, no morning sickness. 9 months later she's having tummy pains, goes to the ER, they do a pee test and it comes back negative. They begin a physical exam and she's in labor.

@nikki39nmv,

I know it happens but I literally can’t believe it lol

@nikki39nmv,

Thanks for confirming this from experience @nikki39nmv! Crazy but the more i'm reading the more stories of it happening i'm coming across. Hard to believe it can happen, but obviously it can!

Is it possible to be pregnant and keep getting negative tests and really be pregnant?

Could a negative result be wrong? It's possible to get a negative result from a home pregnancy test when you're actually pregnant. This is known as a false-negative.

Why do I have pregnancy symptoms but test negative?

If you feel as though you're pregnant but got a negative home pregnancy test result, your symptoms could be down to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or you may have taken the test too early.

How common is it to be pregnant but test negative?

Home pregnancy tests are usually accurate, but researchers estimate that up to 5% of tests give a false negative — meaning the test says you aren't pregnant when you actually are. There are a few reasons why you might get a false negative. You might be taking the test too early or after drinking too much water.

Is it possible to have low hCG levels and still be pregnant?

Even if a complication associated with low hCG levels occurs, such as a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy, this does not mean that someone will be unable to get pregnant again or that their fertility is compromised. A successful pregnancy is still possible with low hCG levels.
