Missed Period & Possible Pregnancy: What to Do?
QuestionOk so I am like 10 days late for my period. And two days after i missed it I took a test and it was negative. But last month I had to have pills to start my period because i had a misscarriage in January. I had a period in Febuary and not one in march but then one in April because the doc gave me those pills. So then yesterday I decide to just for the heck of it take anohter test and it was posistive! The line was very faint though so my boyfriend and me go buy a two pack of the clear blue easy they are digital. Well sure enuf it said pregnant. So today my boyfriend says just atke the other one so i did and IT SAID NOT PREGNANT! So then we go buy one more just a generic brand and both lines showed up but very faint again. I know I need to go to the doc but its sunday and I am going crazy. Just wanted to know if it ever happened to anyone else. And what the outcome was! Thanks
AnswerDear Natasha,
The difference may have been in the tests or in the concentration of the urine you used for each test.
With all the conflicting results, you really do need to go to the doctor's office for a quantitative blood pregnancy test or serum beta hCG. This test will give you an actual amount of hCG in your bloodstream rather than a positive/negative result. Any amount of 25 mIU/ml or more would be considered positive for pregnancy.
I hope this information has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
