From what I know no you cant because a blood test is more accurate then a urine test. ↑

Yes you can I believe, as there are two different types of blood tests that can be done, one reading the amount of hcg in your blood, which I've heard ideally takes up to 8 - 10 days after conception to appear, and the other test is a yes / no answer for the doctor to read a reading under 5 hcg is read as Negitive and above is Positive, women varey as to how quickly we build this hormone up in our bodies..... when did you do a blood test ??? were you over due for your period or still within your cycle? Best of luck, I hope this has helped a little. ↑

Need this question answered... I just got a neg blood test but I am 18 days late and ttc'd all month. ↑

Then I would trust in the blood test and you are not pregnant... ↑

Nope! hcg levels are within 10000-200000 in your first trimester so if it came back and it was negative that means you would have an hcg level of under 5. There is no way you could be pregnant. ↑

I've done a lot of research lately & i think a woman can get a negative result from a blood test & still be pregnant. Its not something that may be common as doctors would say, but it does happen & every woman's body is different. I'm kinda in the same dilemma that is why i have been doing research on this. I took both a urine and blood test & they both came out negative. However, my period was 5 days late & when it finally came i only spotted. It didn't really run down & dats weird because i'm the kind of girl who keeps track of my period & i'm never late more than a day or maybe 2 at the most.So, i find this most odd & i think i may in fact be pregnant..That's the only explanation of why my period has come like it has. The doctor told me to wait & see how my next period comes & thats what i'm going to have to do. ↑

I had a negative blood test 3 days after my period was due and the doctors told me I was not pregnant. A week later, I took a hpt with a faint postive and called the doctor back. Went for a second blood test and it was positive. I went 2 days later and the numbers were 4 times the original amount. I am 100% sure of the first day of my last period because I was on the pill.
This is my third pregnancy and I tested early with the other 2 with positives before my period was due. I do think this is an exception, but I wanted to get it out there that this can happen. ↑

Name: Bri | Date: Nov 25th, 2005 11:58 PM
Sherry...... How long after you took the first neg blood test did you wait for the second? I am 9 days late and I took 6 or 7 HPT and all of them came back neg execpt 1 faint...very faint possitive. When I got the Bl test it came back neg. I am unsure of what the number was exactly. I am NEVER late.... Let me know what you think? ↑
Name: Shante | Date: Nov 26th, 2005 2:07 AM

Name: Jamie | Date: Nov 28th, 2005 2:31 PM
My period never came when it was suppose to so I got 2 home pregnancy tests took one one day and then the next day I took the other one. They both were positive of course the line was faint. Than I had gone to the doctors and she did a urine test on me and it came back positive but the line was faint again but she said it doesn't matter its a positive and she wanted to hook me up with a doctor for my pregnancy. She said I would be 5 weeks just estimating without the ultra sound. Than this saturday I started to feel cramping just like a period and then I went to the washroom and there was some spotting. Than Sunday it was still there but the cramping was getting a little worse than eventually it was getting to much to handle so I went to the hospital. So the doctor did a pelvic exam and said that there wasn't alot of blood and my cervix was closed which is a good thing. Than they took blood to look for my hcg levels. He came back an hour later and told me it was negitive so I couldn't be. But yet I took 3 urine tests and they all said the same . Can some one help me ↑

Sorry ladies - as much as you want to be pregnant, if you have a neg blood test, it's 99.9999999% positive you are not. ↑
Name: confused | Date: Dec 20th, 2005 1:25 PM
i'm going thru a similar situation in which i just went to the dr. yest and was told negative. i should have started AF on 12/15 and it's now 12/20. Only time will tell. I am awaiting blood work today. ↑
Name: confused | Date: Dec 20th, 2005 1:28 PM
sorry forgot to post that my symptoms are as follows: nausea for about 3 weeks, slight bloating and cramping. thinking AF will start any day (which are also preggo symptoms). blood work should be pretty certain as they detect hormone sooner. Any of you out there have any updates? Did you start your cycle yet? ↑
Name: confused | Date: Dec 20th, 2005 1:31 PM
Mary, i could be wrong, but i would suspect that if the blood work said neg, then that's the most accurate. HPT can have alot of faults such as expired, may not have let it run under the urine long enough, etc. but how did they give you back the results so quick? usually blood work takes a few hours for lab. anyway, i would continue to wait for AF, as that is the only sure thing after blood work. time will tell.... ↑
Name: Laura | Date: Dec 20th, 2005 2:05 PM
So here's an update from my Dec 7 post.
So a week after my blood test I still was nauseas and sore breast so I called my doc's office and they got me in that day. My doc ordered another blood test but this time the one that measures the actually amount of HCG if present. The results were negative. Five days after receiving theses results I got AF. I guess our minds have a lot more influence over our bodies then we think. I must have convinced myself that I was pregnant and my body started to believe it, hence all the symptoms. So my advice get the more accurate blood test to ease your mind and if it is neg then try to relax and everything should go back to normal. ↑
Name: Mary | Date: Dec 21st, 2005 12:53 AM
confused...it's very weird, because i know that blood work normally should take about 2-3 days right???? but i went to a clinic, and took blood and they told me like 15 minutes later..so i'm so confused...I took 3 clearblue test and all came out positive, I took 2 in the morning and one @ night and postive. but then I took the first response after and that one was negative..SO CONFUSED...my last cycle was done last month on the 14th, but i have very irregular periods so I dont know..How about you, how are you doing? ↑
Name: confused | Date: Dec 21st, 2005 5:12 PM
Mary and all, my update is that I got my bloodwork results back . Negative. I couldn't believe it. It was like hearing that a family member or something passed away. I just couldn't believe it because I feel all the symptoms (I have been pregnant before and had miscarriage about 4 months ago). I am trying to figure out what all the feelings are if they are not pregnancy symptoms. I know I even had implantation bleeding but who knows now, it could have been breakthrough. I guess I will have to wait for AF but every day I keep thinking I feel pregnant. I feel like I will find out one of these days I guess, just not soon enough! Why is it such a hard yes/no answer. Pregnant or not! AAARRRRGHHHHH. ↑
Name: confused | Date: Dec 22nd, 2005 11:16 AM
Hello All,
Just to update you, I am now at day 39 of my cycle and still feel preggo. Not sure when to get another blood test just to confirm.. the Dr. will think I'm nuts. He said I could have had an anovulatory (sp?) cycle and may not have ovulated which I doubt. Anyway, I'm still here, no AF and no positive results... ↑
Name: Jamie | Date: Dec 28th, 2005 9:09 AM
well I had made mention on here before about me taking 2 urine home test and 1 at the doctor and all were positive and then started spotting and cramping lots and the blood tests were negitive and that was all in november 16-26th and now its december 28th and i'm not bleeding or cycling does this mean i can actually be pregnant? ↑
Name: confused | Date: Dec 28th, 2005 1:52 PM
Jamie,
It could be possible but with negative blood tests, that's pretty definate and I would think by now it would show. It could also be possible that you are not pregnant and just waiting for your hormones to return and start cycling again for next month. ↑
Name: mswett | Date: Jan 6th, 2006 6:52 PM
I am so frustrated.... I had my period Dec. 6th.. I have been having irregular periods, but not on any medication etc... anyway, my breasts started to hurt veiny, bloated, gas etc.... took Clear Blue Easy Digital got a positive last Friday.. Went to the doctors today, negative dip test and neg blood test.. what the hell, however he told me to wait two weeks, test again and nothing to call. I hate this.. I was so upset.. damn home test!!! ↑
Name: mswett | Date: Jan 8th, 2006 6:09 PM
Oh so anyway, as I was saying, had the negative blood test last Friday right.. so went home a little irriated because I had a positive digital the week before and guess what?? Saturday morning 6 a.m. took another digital and yes, "said Pregnant" Could I have been too early for the blood test? I think because I am 38 days, I am still in my cycle until @ 14th ↑
Name: Narelle | Date: Jan 13th, 2006 4:07 AM
Ok i've had 3 blood test but first 1 was done too early, they've all come back negative, I've also had an ultra sound and nothing showed. I've had sore breast for a week, my backs been aching and i've also had pelvic paid. could i still be pregnant. I do get a period but it doesn't last long ↑
Name: sparkles | Date: Jan 14th, 2006 1:12 AM
Yes, it is possible to get neg. tests, but still be PG. I'm proof of that! All my HPTs and blood test came back neg. weeks after I got PG. My hCG level was 2! Yet, I was getting pregnancy s/s during that whole time. I had read about women being PG and getting neg. test results, but never thought in a million years I would be one of them. Apparently, it's more common than we think. A woman's hCG level can be very low in early pregnancy and not indicate a pos. result. Fortunately, I happened to take an HPT a month later just for kicks and got my pos.......right before my now-previous OB/GYN was going to start me on fertility drugs for ??lack of ovulation??. He was a bright one! I'm happy to say I'm now 26 weeks PG! Hang in there girls! If you really feel like something is up, wait it out. For some women, it takes longer for the hCG level to rise. Those blood tests are not always accurate in diagnosing pregnancy. Go with your gut feeling, since us women know our bodies better than any md or test result. ↑
