Question by Mommy05: False pregnancy tests…I KNOW I’m pregnant! HELP?!?!?
I have had 2 pregnancies previously, BOTH of which I KNEW I was pregnant. I had a feeling this time. First time my hubby and I have had unprotected sex (no condom, birth control, etc) since our son was born was: once, a couple years ago, and again on October 7th (just a few weeks ago). My breasts always swell about 4 – 7 days before my period. They are very swollen and sore the first day or two, and go down to regular within 3 or 4 days, then I start my period within a few days after that. My breasts started swelling last Wednesday (Oct 27th), and while they are not as sore now, they are still twice the size as normal.
My face broke out in zits last week, I have had unusual hot flashes, I have been extremely lethargic, I have been craving cucumbers and ranch (incessantly) and (I am a type 1 diabetic) my blood sugars have been totally out of whack – waking up with high blood sugar when my blood sugar was normal before bed, waking up with low blood sugar when I had a glass of juice before bed, etc. I started suspecting I might be pregnant last week but knew it was too soon to tell. I went online to use some sort of tool. I put in the first day of my last period, and sure enough – it said conception date would’ve been the 21st…the exact day my hubby and I first had unprotected sex.
My period is usually irregular…so not sure what to think there. I have taken FOUR pregnancy tests – 3 First Response and 1 from the dollar store (I’ve heard from a number of people that they had positive results with these, while negative with the expensive brands, AND it advertises as reading the hCG hormone at only 25 mIU)…all of them read negative.
Everything I’ve read online said I should be able to get an accurate reading from an HPT at this point. All my symptoms lead to pregnancy and 2/2 times I was right, I can’t imagine being wrong now. It is seriously more frustrating right now than anything else. I am calling my Dr tomorrow to get in for an appointment, but his schedule is usually at least a month out. I recently read a number of posts from women who had negative tests even from their OBGYN’s even at 16 weeks.
Any thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Anyone had great luck with a certain HPT?
PS – The First Response test I took was SIX days before missed period. My best friend is currently 4 months pregnant. She took a First Response that turned out negative, and took a test from the dollar store the same day that turned out positive!
I didn’t take the test six days before. The test is supposed to give accurate results 6 days before you miss your period. I am trying to get sound advice from people who may have legitimate insight. Thank you everyone for any responses.
@ lilstein ….I did the SAME thing….pulled it out of the trash thinking I was paranoid about seeing the second line. My hubby couldn’t see it though. I guess I’m going to have to wait. It just seems so odd that, if I am pregnant, I would have such strong symptoms but not enough of the hormone to show up!

I wish I knew what to tell you, except maybe try a totally different brand (I bought a bunch off EBay a very cheap one that worked…forget the MIU though??).
I hope that if you want to be pregnant you are and if not that you are not. I have not had negative results and been pregnant…although I did have two that took a while to change???
