I went to my obgyn for my yearly appointment and to be checked for abdominal pain, she did a urine, blood and an ultrasound and ALL came back negative. Then 2 weeks later I went to my primary care dr's and he did a urine and blood and called me the next day and told me my pregnancy test came back positive. I had no idea that he even did a pregnancy test and Im not sure which one came back positive. Then when I went back to my obgyn a month later they were ALL shocked, my obgyn, receptionist, and the ultrasound tech. I had an ultrasound that day and found out I was 2 month 2 days. So in all it took me 5 pregnancy tests to find out we were expecting. Further along than we had all thought because 2 weeks before I found out they were all negative. So Im guessing it gonna be a process every time I get pregnant. We have had a few scares including going through one now and I have taken 4 home test and my primary dr's did 1 urine test and they are all negative but I feel pregnant so I guess time will tell.

I love reading this thread....I am a month late with my period, we have been trying to have baby number 2 for almost a year now. I have had days of nausea, tender boobs, moodiness, being tired, but a PT I took the day after my missed period it was negative. A week later negative, 2 weeks later still negative, but I have all the signs. I like reading about others that had the same issue and it makes me hopeful that I just may be pregnant!

I took 5 tests over a period of 3 weeks, starting the week of my missed period. All said negative. I was feeling "off", moody, tender, filling out a bit...all arrows pointed at pregnant except the tests.
Then when I was about 8 weeks in, I took one last test. Bingo! Positive!
They learned that I have low hormone levels (which my mother also has). So we know that from here on out, any time we think I'm preggo it has to be a blood test.

My husband and I were ttc with both of our children and I knew a week after we conceived each one but the scientific proof was more difficult with the second.
1st- I was on the pill so, I finished the pack, had my period and then we started trying. I skipped my period 4 wks later and I got a positive HPT the same day. No problem there.
2nd- I stopped taking the pills mid-pack and this caused my body to not produce any hcg. The only symptoms I had was sensitivity to smells and frequent urination, and "decidual bleeding"(bleeding during your normal period time but, is not your period). I took over 10 HPT and they all showed up negative. I didn't go to a Dr cause I knew with a negative test they'd tell me I wasn't pregnant when I knew I was so, I just stayed home till I got a positive test. After the third decidual bleeding ended on day 3 I took a test and it finally showed up. I was 12 wks along!!
My Midwife and the Doctor on staff were shocked and wondered how that could happen! Let alone. I told them I figured that the pills had my body confused so it wasn't until the placenta took over making the HCG at 12 wks that it finally showed up. I know now (at least for my body) when we go for #3 to finish the pill pack. :)

1st – A hilarious story actually!! We had been trying for two years, the first without any medical assistance, the 2nd year with the help of my primary care physician. After no luck she recommended I see a specialist since we determined I was the issue. The specialist came up with a diagnosis right away that fit and we scheduled all the tests to confirm the diagnosis. A week later I went in prepared to find out that we would never be able to have children… I was scheduled for an ultrasound to see what damage had been done to my ovaries/uterus prior to seeing the specialist so he could gauge the severity of my condition… the tech started the ultrasound and there was a beautiful little hand on the screen waving back going “Hey dummies!! It is about time you figured out I am here!”. Turns out I was already 4 months along!!
2nd – Instantly… or at least it felt that way. We had just decided to try again and well I had been transformed into fertile myrtle. I knew I was pregnant right away because I felt different (tired, weight gain, etc) but I waited about a week after my missed period just to make darn sure and it was positive. I confirmed with my doctor about a week or two later.
