 We cant tell you if you're pregnant but a blood test can. And it did. And youre not pregnant.

I was asking if anyone had this experience not if I was pregnant but thanks

Please don't post picture of tests. This is a TTC board, so many of the ladies have not seen a positive test, I think there is a place to ask this question on the first tri board. That does look positive. Congrats. Please move along to your BMB.

Oh okay then yeah... I've had the experience of not being pregnant a bunch of times now.

What @tamalahoops said. Also, please remove that photo. It's a TOU violation and no one wants to see it. 

And yes, I have had that experience with *TW* both of my chemical pregnancies. A FRER is extremely sensitive. HCG from 0-5 is considered not pregnant in a blood test. So, if you had just enough hcg to turn a test and then your hcg begins to decrease, you could get a negative blood test, even if your levels were above 0. You should probably speak with your doctor. And if you did have a loss, I'm sorry.

To answer your question - there are a bunch of things that *could* be happening. 
I don't know. If you think the blood test may be wrong, best to contact your OBGYN, or to let them know what you are experiencing.

HPTs measure hcg in your system, as do blood tests. HPTs do not measure quantity, so it cannot tell you if you're becoming more PG or if you're having a MC. All it can tell you is if you have an HCG level at or above the test level to indicate that you are PG at this moment. If the blood test is negative, then you are not PG. If you're still getting positive HPTs and negative bloodwork, then you probably have a serious medical issue. Contact your doctor. I've had several CPs and bloodwork always is positive, even if it's a devastatingly low number like 16 or 27 or 8. 
We do not post pics of things we peed on here.
It's against the TOU to ask if you're PG, even if it's in a roundabout way.

I did when I had cancer.

I also had it happen twice where we don’t know if it was a faulty test or chemical pregnancies.
