Positive tests at home. Negative at the doctors. Hi everyone, I really need some advice. I’m 19 days late today. I took four pregnancy tests Friday afternoon. Walmart cheapy and three first response one of them were digital. Well, I went to my doctor’s today to do a pregnancy test, and it was a big fat Negative. I was so hurt. I came home and said to myself, " no, this isn’t right. I know I’m pregnant." I took my last two tests, which were clear blue. Both positive. One test was the plus sign, and one was digital. I’m not sure what to do. I go back in two weeks. But I need some prayers my way.

There are other reasons you could be getting a positive test other than being pregnant. Have them do a full blood panel .

Get a blood draw. You cant rely upon pee tests
I understand it’s pretty common that if you’re early on it may not show up in tests later in the day. I think it has something to do with your first morning “sample” is more concentrated then the rest of the day.

Prayers. Watch your symptoms, that’s how you’ll really know 
request blood testing to be done.
I went to the er for cramping and they had me pee in a cup said I wasn’t but I knew I was because a week before I went to my ob and they said I was. To early to tell by peeing in the cup but blood work picked it up
This happened to me. All my
Home tests positive. Went to the doctor in the afternoon and she told me it was negative. As I was leaving the office, the receptionist came out and told me the test was really positive, the doctor just didn’t wait long enough and it took a while to show up because I was so early. I’d go and ask them to do a blood test to be sure

They need to do a blood test to confirm. The strips they use are no different than the ish at the dollar store.

I knew I was pregnant two weeks in. I took a home test at 3 weeks. The doctor test the next day was a negative. The doctor was wrong. 
I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive. Then I went I went to the local hospital and they did a blood test and it also came back positive. Tell them you want a blood test
My cousin was negative at the doctor’s office positive at the home pregnancy test so I took her to the hospital and got a blood test and it was positive
With my 2nd baby my doctor said my blood test came back negative. I told her she was wrong. I just felt pregnant and had 2 home tests confirm. She went back to look at the results and said they had made a mistake and hadn’t even tested for it like she had ordered. I was in fact pregnant.
Either ask for a blood test or an ultrasound, ask the doctor why so many at home tests have a positive and theirs had a negative. I have also read pregnancy tests are not always 100% accurate and they usually give false negative readings. It is also possible something is messing with your hormones, many things can do that even eating soy. If you can’t wait look for a planned parenthood, another doctor, even a local health department they all will do pregnancy tests.

It could have to do with when you’re taking them. If you’re doing at home tests first thing in the morning =positive and the doc tests in the afternoon=negative.
Could be because you’re so early that you’re only testing positive in the morning when the HCG hormone is at its maximum.
Otherwise, you’re more likely to get a false positive than a false negative. Even the cheap tests are just as accurate as the expensive ones. Essentially paying more for an easier way to decipher test result or quicker results for anyone who cant wait a little longer 
lol
A blood test at your doc should confirm your positive tests at home. Congrats!
I had false negative test with one of mine at doc office and they went ahead and ordered xrays for a different issue. I was in fact pregnant though!
Get a blood pregnancy test.
I would say if the tests are positive you will be pregnant
Mine did this I was in fact pregnant
Your best bet is to ask for a blood test! It usually will show pregnancy super early! Good luck!

Get blood work the doctors use basic urine tests that may not show
From everything you are saying it most definitely sounds like you are pregnant…
I wouldn’t true clear blue both mine said 2-3 weeks and I ended up in hospital bleeding thinking I had a miscarriage to be told I was never pregnant . The doctors said it’s common for clear blue to give false negative so I’ve never used them again. The cheap ones from the pound store always told me when I was pregnant with my girls x

My twins that I had on 2/2/19 were 3 weeks along when I did an ultrasound at 4 weeks and saw 2 heartbeats!
If u have done multiple tests I say u would be it’s just not showing on the test they done. (Maybe to early levels to read it)
Drs have always done confirmation by a blood test. I would ask for one of those. Which usually gives them a reading of ur levels of a round about time u conceived.
Same thing happened to me.
Request blood work.
That Happened to me, every test I took at home said positive. The test at the hospital said negative. I showed my doctor the picture of my clear blue test the ones that are digital that said pregnant after that they did the blood test and she called and said I was right I was pregnant
A false negative is a lot more common than a false positive…Tell them to do a blood test at your next appt. When I was pregnant with my son I got all negative home pregnancy tests. Long story short, I ended up so sick one night, I went to the ER, where they did a blood test and told me I was pregnant. It kind of shocked me because I had probably taken 4-6 home tests, that same week and the week before that were all negative.

Did they do the blood test or just a urine? You could be to early to determine by urine.
Same here and I have a 6month old 
the doctor said it was just early in the pregnancy & they don’t wait as long for a line to show up. They dip it in the pee, look 2 min after and discard.
Have them do a blood test, a false positive is very rare. The hormone has to be present to get one. Sending good luck vibes your way!
Go in for blood test. I found out before I even missed my period this way. I took home tests and they were all positive but my period wasn’t due for another week.
Did the doc do a urine or blood test on you?
Doctor with first morning pee.
I would request a blood test or an ultrasound. False positives can happen. There are certain medical conditions that will give a false positive on a pregnancy test, but it’s extremely rare. You’re more likely to have a false negative. If your at home tests are all positive and the doctors test was negative, the doctor may have had a faulty test. I would request a retest and when you go in, take your tests with you in a baggie. If for some reason the doctor won’t retest you, go to the ER. They can do a transvaginal ultrasound which will show the baby earlier than a normal ultrasound.
Maybe Doctor office test was wrong this can take place or you are not right time for there test there are some in these store that can tell 1or 24 hrs so the cheap one may be right just have make new Doctor day in about two weeks this may help you.l well pray for you.
Your levels have to be above a certain number to be considered positive it doesn’t mean your not pregnant you could just be really early and need to wait until your levels are high enough to be considered positive. I would just wait and do a blood test or it’s possible that they messed up the results this happened to me before
You are definitely pregnant. It’s nearly impossible to get just 1 false positive let alone more then that. Same thing happened to me. I took a first response at 3 weeks and 2 were positive. Went to the doctors and it was negative. The doctor said more likely my at home test was false and theirs was right. Clearly they have bad test because 9 more positives at home and a positive blood test.
My first urine test at the doctors was negative. Blood test came back positive the next day.
My doctor’s didn’t get a positive test with me until I was 12 weeks pregnant. But all home tests were positive.
Your pee could have been to diluted to detect a positive. So it could be a false negative. That’s why the best time to take one is your first pee in the morning. Sending all the positive vibes and prayers your way!
When I had that issue it was because my at home test had earlier detection and it took them an extra week to get a positive pregnancy test.

They may have not even done the test. They may have just told you negative.
I had positive at home but negative at hospital. Went to a local women’s center and it was positive. I was told that the hospital may have just told me negative to discharge me and get me out of the way.
Have them do a blood test
They need to do a blood test.
Mine also did this and i was pregnant. I made the doctor take a blood test and it was positive
They should of ordered a hcg quant (blood test) to be done.
Based on knowledge working as a nurse in OB chances are the nurses didnt let the test run the full 5 mins… yes sometimes it takes the full 5 mins… my old job nurses were getting in trouble for false neg when the patient took positive test at home and turned out the were more then pregnant to show on our had they waited the full 5 mins… they should have done blood work on you…
I had to do blood tests with my a urine test at dr kept coming back negative , ask for a blood test

They need to do a blood test.
I had this happen and it was a chemical pregnancy.(look it up) It is disappointing. With today’s testing women are able to find out earlier and earlier and are more aware of this occurring.
Bloodwork done! Mine did the same thing and now I’m 25 weeks 4 days
Had the same thing happen. Turned around and asked for a pregnancy blood test. It came back positive. I wasn’t producing enough hormones for the regular urine test at the doctors to register. I was 8 weeks along
Have them run a blood test.
There’s no way your not pregnant. I would go back and request a blood test

I had the same thing happen to me! USUALLY the ones at the doctors office are the dollar cheapies they buy In bulk. They take 50 HCG to make it positive. First response etc usually take 25 hcg or sometimes less! (I know I was getting a faint positive at like 10 hcg on first response. )
- I will say both times I did have this happen I was miscarrying but I could easily see it happening when your not.
the first time it happened I had taken a lot of tests and got bold positive and digital confirmation. I started bleeding and got scared. Went to the ER and they said I wasn’t even pregnant. Refused to do a ultrasound (I was about 10 weeks) and refused to do bloodwork cause the urine came back negative 
. Said they were “false positive” all 10 or more of them. I left immediately got a test from wal greens went home and took it. Dark positive.
2nd time again a bunch of positive test. First response test dark positive - dollar store test was sooo faint you could hardly see it. I was suppose to have a biopsy of my cervix done. Told her I was pregnant and maybe we shouldn’t mess with my cervix. She urine tested me with the dollar test one (and I showed her my test) and said it’s negative. Insisted on the biopsies and said even if I was pregnant it would be ok. After the procedure she sent me for blood work to see if I was pregnant. Well unfortunately i miscarried hours after her taking over 9 GIANT chunks out of my cervix. I was in sooo much pain and bleeding I went to the er. The pain was unreal. Same thing happened there.
saying I’m not pregnant because the urine is negative. I called the person about my blood work and they said CONGRATS your pregnant. I told them I was bleeding. They sent me in for more blood test and it showed the numbers had fallen to about 10 hcg but I was still getting positives on first response but not the dollar ones.
So my advice is - either A. Get blood work. B. If your doctor will let you bring in a brand new box of tests with a receipt and say when you test my urine with your test - do my test too
I guess since it has happened to me so much I’d legit do that. Cause Apparently just showing them the one you peed on isn’t enough. I also think sometimes they don’t follow the instructions on the test. 
sorry not sorry but your suppose to wait so many minutes before reading it, 10’usually. I know I’ve looked at a test at 3 min. And it was negative looking but then gradually it got darker and darker and was a faint positive at 10 min. And let’s be honest no one is going to squint at a pregnancy test like we do are own
HUGS! 🫂
if anything, go to the hospital and tell them your javing stomach pains and that you think you could be pregnant…they will test you and do ultrasound to make sure

So back in July I was about a week late. I took 4 clear blue test. 3/4 were positive (one digital and said error) I went for blood work a week later and it was negative. I took more at home pregnancy test and all came back negative. I never bleed. I ordered ovulation strips in September, since my doctor couldn’t tell me why I still didn’t have a period. September I didn’t ovulate. But October I did (around the 23rd). While celebrating Halloween someone asked if I was announcing a pregnancy with how I did a pumpkin decorating thing outside my front door. ( was just a quintessential thing) but it made me want to test and I got a very very faint positive on a cheap test the 31st of October. I didn’t schedule a doctors appointment since I had already been referred to an obgyn for not having a period in so long. I called there office and let them know I got a positive pregnancy test. They did an ultrasound in mid November and I was 6 weeks 4 days. ( I took a total of four test after October 31st) I’m now currently 29weeks with a little boy. I have no idea if in July I had a miscarriage, or a chemical pregnancy and no doctors have any answers to any of those questions.
I got 4 positive ones at home went to the doctor and got a negative then did the bloodtest one at the doctor came back negative i was heartbroken also then 9 months later boom my baby daughter came into this world… the doctors tests are not always right
I had all negative tests all the way through but I new I was pregnant I looked pregnant and was no doubt about it I was pregnant. Anyway I requested a scan because even blood tests were negative. N there on the screen at 21 weeks and 3 days was my little girl. X
Maybe get the hcg tested by Dr two days in a row (supposed to go up a certain amount each day when pregnant) and watch progesterone make sure everything is good numbers to support the pregnancy 
Just wait a bit. It will be very apparent sooner than later.
The only real way is a blood test it is possible in rare circumstances that there may be something else wrong best to let a Dr. Find out for sureSometomes it can be caused by stress or other psychological issues I am not saying your nuts but your mind can play tricks on you best of wishes
I’ve never had a test at the doctors office, is this an American thing or are you supposed to have a test with a doctor to confirm, I’ve never know anyone to have a test with a doctore in England. With all 3 of my pregnancy’s I took clear blue test that show how many weeks along you are then booked up with a midwife…
I was told Positive tests are never wrong negative can be wrong !

2 of my pregnancy where positive at home amd negative at the doctors office. Went back a second time 2 weeks later amd was positive there.
They use the cheap ones at the doctors office, so your levels may be to low for their test, but enough for a clear blue which can pick up a lot more. I’d take another test tomorrow, and then go to the doctor again next week if they are positive!
I have always heard and from experience, that you can have a false negative but never a false positive…
Happened with my daughter. They said my levels were too low to confirm a pregnancy. They told me if I was pregnant expect to miscarry. Needless to say they were wrong and I have a beautiful baby girl.
