I went off bc this month and an on cd 26. I went to the dr. on monday for a ttc appointment. When she gave me a pregnancy test she said she could see where the line should be when she held it a certain way but she couldn't tell me if it was a certain bfn or bfp...that was cd 24. I have been feeling lightheaded so i took a dollar store test today and it came back neg. Is it still too early to tell since i dont know when i o'd or do you think my dr. might be a nutty??
BFP #1 10/23/10 M/C 11/22/10
BFP #2 1/16/11 M/C 2/2011
BFP #3 1/2012 M/C 3/2012
RE testing: all normal
6/2012: injects+Iui = BFN
9/2012 injects + Iui = BFN
12/2012: polyp removal TTC on our own for awhile

I agree with this.

My first cycle off bcp was very long. I didn't O until day 36. I tested on day 49 and had a BFP (and again on day 50 since I somehow just didn't believe my evening urine...yeah, I don't know why either).
Like LCB said, your doctor should have taken your blood. I would either call her back and ask for a blood test or wait a bit longer and POAS again.

This! The urine pregnancy tests in the doctors office are NOT anymore sensitive than a HPT (I sell them). You shouldn't get a BFN on a HPT and a BFP on a urine office test. Definitely ask for a blood test!
Unfortunately we can't tell you since you don't know when you O'd...if you O'd on cd24, then you wouldn't even want to test for a few weeks. I would wait a few days and test again if no AF. Good luck!
Depends on what brand your doctor's office uses. We use Signify HCG at work, and I don't know what the sensitivity is but I had a + on one while I was still showing negatives on $ store tests. I was even getting negatives on $ store tests once I got a positive on a First Response. But MD tests are definitely not as sensitive as a FRER. If you're going crazy, then go get a First Response and try again.
If you had a 26 day cycle and you saw the doc on day 24, a blood hcg test may not have even picked up on it. I agree with the doc to wait a week or so and retest. Plus there is no need in wasting the $$ for an expensive blood test that in a week and a $ store test will tell the same thing.
