5 of mine home pregnancy tests were positive, but my blood work was negative. Could I still be pregnant?

Anything is possible... I don't want to upset you but last year I had a positive at home pregnancy test & also got a positive urine pregnancy test at the doctor's office - however my blood work came back negative. The doctor said I had experienced a 'chemical pregnancy' - which is basically a very early miscarriage. This is what I found out when I did a search on Google..




What is a chemical pregnancy?
A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman's period was due but a miscarrige occurred before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound.

With the ultra sensitive pregnancy tests on the market today, it is easier than ever to get a positive result 3 or 4 days before your period is due. It is wonderful for those who NEED to know, but does have it's down side. Early testing shows chemical pregnancies which would not have been detected had the woman waited for her period to arrive.

Chemical pregnancies are unfortunately very common. 50 to 60% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage very early in pregnancy. Most occur without the woman even knowing that she was pregnant.

Don't be discouraged though - I became pregnant the very next month after I experienced this - & he is now 4 months old. Good luck & God Bless.

My sister took like 4 hpt tests and then went to the doctor and the blood test was negative... She realized that she drank so mch before going... that it diluted it. Could that be a possibility for you??
