pregnant and negative pregnancy tests--??what could be wrong??

	Asked by Unregistered (Female; 35; one live birth; Relevant drugs:none-prenatals ) on Fri 13, Jun 2008 08:07am :
	I conceived on May 15 or 16, but still keep coming back with negative pregnancy tests. I went to the md yesterday for a blood test--waiting for the results. Could something be wrong with the pregnancy? What would they be?

	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Mon 16, Jun 2008 12:47pm: Hi, It could be that it is showing false positive . The timing of the test is important for it to be accurate - it should be done AFTER a missed period - from what you say, i gather that you have done before your menstrual cycle begins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Pregnancy_test It would be advisable to consult your doctor about the symptoms you are having to rule out any other cause, wait for your menstrual cycle - and in case you have a missed period - get a repeat urine as well as blood pregnancy test done. http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancytests/a/hptaccurate.htm Let us know if you need any other information and post us about what your doctor advises and if you have any other doubts.
