Negative tests but still pregnant!?

Dear moms and moms-to-be,

I'm dealing with something and was wondering if any of you have experienced this too.

I have a really strong feeling that I'm pregnant (7 weeks). I have quite a few pregnancy symptoms like headaches, fatigue, sore breasts, emotional ups and downs, and constipation. It's also true that I can see a linea nigra (pregnancy line) that I didn't have before. My belly is also very bloated and my pants don't fit comfortably.

In the meantime, I've taken several tests; before my period, they were negative, and eventually, I did lose some blood, but it was only for less than a day, followed by a few days of brown blood when wiping. But the feeling of being pregnant persisted, so I took a few more tests, all of which were negative.

This would be my second pregnancy, and all my symptoms match my first one. Back then, I only tested for the first time at 7 weeks, and it was clearly positive. It's not like I really want to get pregnant and therefore might be imagining things or feeling things that aren't there. But I'm getting a bit confused by all this.

    Hi Mamanana,
    That must be confusing for you.
    You mentioned that you also tested positive after 7 weeks during your first pregnancy.
    A pregnancy line only appears if you are truly pregnant.
    If I were you, I’d get a blood test at the GP and request an ultrasound.
    That’ll give you more certainty.

    Yeah, it could indeed be a false pregnancy... I thought of that too, but my test was apparently positive after 5 weeks...
    I did lose some blood from the implantation...

    Hi Tamara,

    Did you maybe test too early? I tested on time, 3 days after I should have gotten my period, and it was negative. I gave myself a week of rest and then tested again, and it was super positive. It's possible that the hormone that should indicate it isn't visible in your urine yet; that's what happened to me.

    No, I tested on Monday and it was positive. The gynecologist also said I'm pregnant.

    That's great!! Congratulations How far along are you? I'm 9 weeks.

    5 weeks, almost 6, but it's wait-and-see if I'll see a beating heart on Tuesday's ultrasound.

    Tamara: how was the ultrasound? Were you able to see a beating little heart?

  8. Tamara #9

    No heartbeat yet, but I definitely have a little miracle in me. I have another ultrasound on August 26th.

    Half-cm spot last Tuesday, so it's about 5 and a half weeks. She couldn't measure anything else yet, so that'll be done at the end of the month. That'll be my 2nd ultrasound, and my 3rd ultrasound will be...

    Did they not see anything during your first ultrasound?

  11. Tamara #12

    Well, my uterus was already working on it, but otherwise nothing. The second one, though, did.

  12. Vlinders #13

    Okay, sounds hopeful to me.

  13. Vlinders #14

    At my first ultrasound (August 3rd), they didn't see anything either. I'm pretty solid myself, maybe that's why? I'm getting my second ultrasound on the 26th.

    For me, it was done because I had to have an Implanon removed. I also need to stay under the care of my gynecologist now due to the risk of preterm birth because of my low weight. They’re also worried that the baby might not be very big... So it’s a wait-and-see how things go from here. I’m taking pregnancy vitamins and eating enough, so I’m keeping my spirits up that I’ll have a normal pregnancy.

  15. Tamara #16

    No, it was just too early for me too... you just have to wait until the 26th, girl. I'll keep going too.

  16. Vlinders #17

    This midwife told me I could also be about 4 weeks pregnant...

  17. Tamara #18

    I was told 5 weeks, but that should have been this week.

  18. Vlinders #19

    Okay, and did they see anything at your 22-week ultrasound?

  19. Tamara #20

    Monday I'll see something, but I think I'm just at 5 and a half weeks. You can see what's going on, and I already thought it was pretty big... It's nice though because my fiancé is already talking to my belly.
