Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Pregnancy Test Question

when is the latest you got a positive?

I always got a positive on 10dpo, but today I am 6 days late and last night I got a negative.  I don't think I am, but i guess there is always a slight chance.

The reason why I am concerned is that I take medicine that is harmful for a baby...so that is why we use protection.

Im wondering if I should stop taking the medicine until I know for sure?

I never have been later than 30 days and I was posting that I get my period every 22 days!!  now I am at 36 days.... 

I do have a thyroid condition and that is probably the likely cause but I am just worried about the medicine.

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)

Re: Pregnancy Test Question

  • You should use your first pee in the morning because the pee is more concentrated then.  I got a negative with DD because i was peeing on it late in the day and i drink lots of water.  Also, the second time i did it, i let it sit for longer than the 2 min or so that it says and finally it showed a second line. 

     As far as the medication and interaction, I would call your doctor for a suggestion.

  • I would retest first thing in the morning. Until then, I would check with your doctor to see if it is better for you to miss a dose of medication or not. Your doc might even want you to come in for a test.

    yeah I have a call in now.  I am just panicking because if I am than I am already 2 weeks pregnant, you know.  I have been careful so I am just hoping this is a fluke and my thyroid condition causing issues.

  • Do you know that you actually ovulated?  You're probably not actually late.  I agree with the PPers about asking the doc and using FMU.

    well im not charting but I have never missed a period in 17 years except when I was pregnant, so that is what got me nervous :)  so it is definitely possible.

  • Any chance you could call your doc and do a blood test? Your doctor could help you proactively figure out what is going on, especially due to the medication worries. Good luck!

  • My cycles are 29 days on average, but every five years or so I'll have a 36-day cycle, since I have a short LP, I could get a BFP as late as CD38 for a viable pg and CD42+ for a non-viable pg (e.g. ectopic BTDT).  After BCPs or medications I am known to have 40-day cycles, so add four days to my math above.  Wishing all is well for you!

    A wonky cycle once in a blue moon is pretty common.  Since you have concerns with taking your meds while pregnant, talking to your doctor is best.  It may be helpful to ask him/her what the plan is if you don't test positive on a blood or urine test for X amount of days and your period still doesn't show.  GL.

  • Thanks so much ladies :)

    I am going to get a beta this week and I am actually getting an ultrasound wednesday because of a cyst I have had for a few months...so that may or may not give any kind of an answer... just to make sure and I am going off the medicine until I get it (I can for a short period of time).  Otherwise they are going to do my thyroid blood tests again and see whats going on.

    He wants to cover all the basis because I have so many autoimmune issues...
