Negative hpt at 8 weeks pregnant

Mamabeagle · June 2015

I believe I have read on here some one didn't test positive until 14 weeks...have you seen your doctor for a blood test?

nicosh8 · June 2015

I'm a little confused. Are you saying you haven't had a period in 8 weeks? Or did you have a positive blood test and a negative hpt at 8 weeks? Why do you think a negative hpt would indicate being pregnant with twins?

Ladyliciali · June 2015

Thank you mamabeagle I go for my first appt monday just wanted to hear some POSITIVE stories

Ladyliciali · June 2015

Again simple question

FemShep · June 2015

I'm sorry, OP, but why do you think you're pregnant (possibly with twins) if you haven't had a positive HPT? I'm not being snarky, I'm genuinely curious.

Hello all I was wondering did anyone have any POSITIVE stories of women having negative hpt and went on to have healthy babies if so around what time did you start to get positive hpt and were you pregnant with twins

I'm really confused by this...i do'nt think it's a simple question at all. I mean i'm 37 weeks pregnant, and i had a negative HPT at 7dpo but then got a positive one at 11 dpo so...i was getting positive HPTs by the time i was 3.5 weeks pregnant. However, i ovulated day 31, so by the time i got my positive HPT, based on LMP, i would have calculated as being 6 weeks pregnant, even though i actually was not that. Using LMP to date your pregnancy is only accurate if you ovulated around day 14 of your cycle.

Is the question that you haven't had a period in 8 weeks, but also haven't had a positive HPT during that time? Generally the guidance is that you should see your doctor if you haven't had a period or a positive HPT in 60 days, and you're approaching that now, so i think a visit to the doctor is reasonable. but it's highly unlikely that you're pregnant. There is a condition that exists where some women can't turn a HPT and only show up pregnant via blood test, but that condition is EXTREMELY rare...like less than 1% of people are affected by it. My guess is that you ovulated late (or haven't ovulated yet) this cycle. If you're not pregnant, your doctor will likely prescribe you something to jump start your period and you can try again next cycle. I suggest looking into temping so that you will know when you are ovulating going forward.

This is not a simple question because you haven't clarified what exactly you are asking.

So you specifically want stories that only fit this exact scenario that you've created? That's not how this works.

Unless you are part of the small (very small) percentage of women who don't turn positive tests, I'm going to have to assume that you are not pregnant right now. When you say it's been 8 weeks, have you been temping? Do you know exactly when you ovulated or if you ovulated at all? Because if you don't, you are really just shooting in the dark about being late.

As for twins....come on. That's something that you only confirm by sonogram, not by symptoms or pee sticks or any of that.

nlwz123 · June 2015

Soooo, you only want to hear POSITIVE (understood the caps the first time...) stories about something you really did not clearly describe?

You basically asked: Hey, all my tests are negative, so am I having twins?

You can see how this would be confusing to a reader, yes?

nlwz123 · June 2015

Also, if you were actually having twins your HCG would be tripling which would most definitely turn a test positive test.

Ladyliciali · June 2015

I really don't understand why anyone would comment and make commands on how another person asked a question I just wanted to know if anyone had success stories I dont know why you guys are so pissy if u dont have a positive story to share just keep it moving its very simple actually I'm not here for the back and forth non sense only looking for POSITIVE ppl not someone that's miserable and wants company I'm good.

MrsBwIVF · June 2015

A, don't be rude to people who are honestly trying to help you. How dare you call them miserable when they took time out of their busy schedules to try and help you piece your life and story together.
B, you are posting on a public forum asking an absurd question, why would you think you'd get your perfect answer?
C, these women who are trying to help, are asking you basic questions to try and HELP you out!
D, the specific answer you're looking for of a positive story that fits your description perfectly, doesn't exist.

Did you even read the responses? I doubt it. You can't just demand that people tell you exactly what you want to hear, which seems to be your definition of the word positive. The internet doesn't work that way. You receive legitimate and informed responses to your post. The proper response is "thank you", not a tantrum.

Edited to add: You said you didn't understand how people make commands on how another person asks a question. So let me throw that right back at you: I don't understand how you make commands about the exact type of responses you want. That's neither fair, logical, or helpful.

Ladyliciali · June 2015

Ok thank u all for being so helpful.

Ladyliciali · June 2015

I see ppl on here have no life smh so sad but thanks for all the positive response u guys r awesome have a great day

MrsBwIVF · June 2015

I think it's sad that you changed your original post and not your attitude.

ChelsieS2014 · June 2015

Hi Ladyliciali,

Of course getting a blood test and getting your doctors advice is most important. That being said the only way to know if you are having twins is via UltraSound/Sonogram. I will tell you this and it is actually more common than one would think. 3 of my friends DID NOT get their BFP's until after 8 weeks along (and they were testing since their missed period, FMU) they all ended up having successful pregnancies and healthy babies. None were twins though. I hope that helps. Good Luck on your TTC journey!

I think it's rude to attempt to insult people who tried to help you. Unfortunately for you, no one here considers blowing smoke up someone's butt a "positive" thing to do. Hopefully you'll grow up.

Thanks a lot chelsieS2014 it was helpful and comforting I appreciate it

ChelsieS2014 · June 2015

I completely agree that she needs to speak with a doctor, which is why I said that in my post. And 2/3 of the friends were TTC and using OPK's & temping. The reason they were certain they were pregnant was because their Temps stayed elevated and they had early symptoms, that being said they still did not receive a positive HPT until after 8 weeks. I don't really think you ladies are being constructive with the comments, tell her to go to the doctor and be done with it unless you have experienced something similar. It could be that her body is so stressed from TTC that her cycle is all out of whack, our bodies are so unique that we are so unpredictable. All she did was ask advice and for similar experiences. She needs to know that it can happen, just like it can happen that she ovulated late, or that stress is not allowing her to ovulate at all!
I am not here to argue with you about her specific case, all I did was share my experiences (which is what she originally asked for).

Pardon me, but none of us understood what she was asking. No need to reprimand all of the posters. She could have just reworded and explained her question and I'm sure she would have gotten some useful responses.

Reagan1010 · June 2015

People who get late positives normally just had longer cycles and ovulated later in their cycle. OP, if you are not pregnant you should start temping. It gives you a wealth of knowledge about you cycle.

Just an FYI...I had a strong positive at 7DP5DT with a FRER. I tested before betas because I was so nauseous. It was confirmed via my 6 week 3 day ultrasound that I am having twins. If you truly are 8 weeks pregnant then you would be able to turn a test. I'm sorry, but I would see your gynecologist to try and figure out what's going on.

You still don't understand...? We just didn't understand your question.

Ladyliciali · June 2015

U dont understand move on go away stalker

delujm0 · June 2015

ok this has gone south, so i'm tempted to call troll...

...but OP i do have a truly "simple" question for you...why do you think you're 8 weeks pregnant if you haven't had a positive HPT OR seen a doctor for a blood test yet? this baffles me. I truly tried to be helpful in my previous post, but apparently that wasn't appreciated, so at this point i will just be blunt.

I'm not here to spread inaccurate scientific information or tell you stories about a friend's cousin's ex-wife that may not even be true. Is it possible you're pregnant but can't turn an HPT at 8 weeks? yes. very very rare, but possible. Which is why if you've gone 60 days without a period or a positive HPT you should call your doctor and ask how you should proceed.

You feel stalked. So when you ask a question on a public internet forum and people answer, they are stalking you?

Man, she's missing periods in more than one area of her life: Her reproductive cycle and her grammar. No wonder no one can understand anything she's asking. I know I'm late, but I just don't understand why rewording a question, with something close to decent grammar, was too much for her.

Mamabeagle · June 2015

Did she get banned for this thread? I mean she made no damn sense, but I didn't think anything was particularly ban worthy?

BlueWaffleSpeshul · June 2015

Well this was an interesting stop on the crazy train. I POSITIVELY still have no idea what OP was trying to ask.

To the random WK, we can't tell her to go to the doctor if we don't understand what she was asking. I'm not going to recommend a woman waste her time and her doctor's if I don't know what is wrong with her.

groovylocks · June 2015

So I'm going to attempt to be positive but I won't lie to you. Here's the deal with how this all works.

So yes, a pregnancy test CAN turn a false negative after HCG has built up in the blood (That's the pregnancy hormone that, amongst other lovely things you'll find out when the time comes

triggers the test to show two lines). There is no such thing as a false positive. A positive is a positive. But a test can turn a false negative. It's an indication of a faulty test or poor dye quantity. It's rare but it happens.

Because it's so rare, it would only happen once, if ever. If this happened all the time, people wouldn't buy those tests anymore and the company would have gone out of business for making a bad product

So if you're getting multiple negative tests, I'm afraid you're not pregnant. But if you're still not convinced, I'm going to urge you to go to your doctor who can do a test for you that is way more accurate than a regular home pregnancy test.

This is an honest answer. I don't want to lie to you because it does you absolutely no good. But if you google this question, it will give you lots of information that you can look at that should help you going forward.

groovylocks · June 2015

Also, I think you're misinformed about the twin thing. If anything, the presence of twins would be even MORE likely to trigger a positive result.

When you're pregnant, a hormone called HCG begins pumping through your body. It is needed to sustain your baby and all the things that support your baby's development (like increased blood supply).

The more babies you have in there, the more HCG is getting produced, which makes sense, right? If one baby makes some, more babies make more.

So you see how twins are more likely to produce a positive result, not a negative.

You also need to be aware (for your own health) that your period can stop for many reasons other than pregnancy. Stress, physical or emotional trauma, sudden changes in weight and some more serious illnesses can all cause a period to stop. It's also normal to skip periods sometimes too, for seemingly no reason!

But if you are no longer getting periods but find out you're not pregnant, you MUST MUST MUST get that checked out to rule out serious illnesses like cancer.
