This morning I woke up and took a wondfo preg test it was positive. On the way to work I took a first response test and it was positive. I went to doctor and they did urine test and it was negative. Doctor ordered series of three blood test to check HCG levels. I'm so confused am I preg or not:( I won't have results of blood test until Tuesday doctor going on vacation until then. The suspense is going to kill me !!! Anyone else ever have this happen?

Re: Positive store test negative doctors office test!!!
FRERs really do give BFPs sooner than a lot of other tests so maybe you are just too early for the test in office to detect your levels yet. I wouldn't worry yet.
During my last miscarriage my doctor was monitoring my levels to 0 through blood. However, at one appointment she had me take an HPT at the office to get a general idea of my status right then. She said her office dip sticks were at a 50iu sensitivity. Most HPTs advertise 25, but have been shown to turn positive at 10 and even lower sometimes. So yes, it is possible that your HCG is in a place that turns an HPT positive, but not high enough for the ones at the OB office.
I'm sorry that it will take so long to get your blood test back. That's a bummer. Can nobody else in the office (another doctor, nurse?) relay those results to you?
