Hi there,

I’m in quite a peculiar situation. A few days ago, I got a message from a foreign girl who was temporarily in the NL saying she’s pregnant with my baby.

We had sex on December 9th, and I gave her a morning-after pill (ulipristal) on December 11th. After a few days, she confessed that she had also slept with someone else on December 10th.

Yesterday and the day before, I had her take a ClearBlue Digital test 3 times. This test shows whether you are pregnant or not, and how many weeks ago conception took place:
1st time (evening): pregnant, 1-2 weeks
2nd time (morning): not pregnant
3rd time (evening): not pregnant

These results confuse me, since conception should have taken place about 2 months ago. The test should now (looking at the HCG levels associated with 2 months of pregnancy) always show 'pregnant 3+ weeks'.

The problem is that she has gone back to her home country and doesn't want to cooperate with a test at the doctor's office. She is afraid that I will want to do a DNA test if it turns out for sure that she is pregnant. But now I'm left with the uncertainty of whether I will be the biological father...

Can anyone explain these test results?

    Anyway, I didn't come inside her, but that doesn't rule anything out, of course.

    Early miscarriage? Then you first test positive, later negative. 2-3 weeks pregnant doesn't mean anything, at least, you can easily be way off. Especially with evening urine.

    The point is that the test measured a very low hCG level. Whereas if I were the father, she should already be 2 months pregnant, and you should get a very clear 3+ even with evening urine.

    This raises the question for me whether I could even be the father. A child is unwanted for me.

    Then next time I'd handle these things differently, even with contraception, sex and getting pregnant are pretty close together.
    Right now there's not much you can do about it, I'm afraid, indeed a DNA test gives total certainty.

    If the hcg level peaks, could the test possibly not detect it, or would it show positive if you diluted the urine with water?

    I’d just talk to Harlan’s GP, and otherwise you can get an ultrasound for €35. It should already be visible by now with a reasonable timeframe indication...

    The story all sounds pretty weird, and I’d definitely have some questions about it.
