Positive HPT, Neg Blood test? UPDATE

in Pregnant after a Loss

After having two early miscarriages, I know this is a possibility, but frankly, I'm really looking for a little hope! 

 Yesterday I took two first response tests FMU and got 2 very faint, squinter lines as result. So I scheduled a blood test and went in yesterday. 

This morning I took a test and got a readable pink line that my husband confirmed and even shows up in photographs. We were out of the "squinter" category. Then, I called the afterhours nurse to confirm with the test from yesterday and they tell me the blood test is negative. Negative? It just didn't seem right after testing positive this morning and the line is getting darker. Today I would be 4 weeks. 

 Is it just too early? I've read a few stories of women having similar results that end up pregnant. I just don't know what to believe. Hopefully they can get me back in tomorrow for an appointment or something, but it's hard when it's a holiday to figure that out. 

 Any amazing, encouraging stories out there? I would LOVE to hear them.  I know full well how this can turn out sad, I want to hear the positive possibilities!

    Was it a quantitive or qualitive test? Quantitive gives you a measure of how much hcg is in your system, qualitive gives you a yes/no answer.

    I got a bfp once where I saw a line but my beta was 4. That is below the qualitive cut off, so if it had been a qualitive test, it would have shown negative.

    Hope that helps!

    Agree with PP. Ask what the number was. Some doctors consider less than 25 to be negative. I hope it's the real thing!

    My blood level yesterday was 12. I was 9 dpo. Did you ask if you could do a redraw later on ?

    I'm planning on going back in tomorrow. I think I'll try calling the dr back and see what the test was for sure and see if/what the numbers were. It just seems too strange to me. I sure would love to experience a normal pregnancy!

    My doctor didn't consider the blood test for my current pregnancy positive. Yes, there was HCG in my system, but not "enough". I had to go in a few days later for another draw before they considered me pregnant.

    I'm currently 29 weeks, so that first test can bite me!

    Good luck.

    It just might be too early. Those HPTs are very sensitive! My advice would be to do another beta on Monday! GL!

    The Dr confirmed a couple days ago with a second blood test... Pregnant! I took an additional blood test today to make sure my levels are continuing to rise, so I should be finding out today still or in the morning. I keep trying to remind myself of all the things that are positive signs and different from the miscarriages. It's tough though! Like, my boobs are less sore than two days ago... so I'm always touching them to evaluate their "soreness". Afraid "less sore" isn't as good as "more sore"... Oh the head games!
