also, i had spotting for a day accompanied by slight vramping, which was 9 days after sex. a few of my friend suggested it was implantation bleeding

I think that you might have tested too early. Your hcg levels have to be at a certain level in order for any test to be positive. Maybe ask your doctor to do a pelvic they can see that you are pregnant that way too. My mother-in-law took every single test that they had available when she was pregnant with my Husband and they all came back Neg. even the ones at the Dr. office. Go back in a week and try again. Good luck to you and God Bless!

Also once a yr. I skip a period and it came out of the blue about 4 yrs. ago and then during I also experience prego symptoms. I wouldnt worry Id just wait a little while longer and go back... But if you are your hormone level in ur blood test would be higher. Obviously they werent when you took the last one so it wouldnt make any difference if you take one at home. There is also a flu thing going around that may make you off a few days and the symptoms are similar to being prego.
I wouldnt worry about it much it will come soon or later

A blood test can pick up the HCG hormone 7-10 days after possible conception. I had lots of pregnancy symptoms and when I went to the doctor for a blood test it came back that I had low hormones.

If you had a qualatitive blood test done then there is a chance that you could still be pregnant. I suggest talking to your doctor about having a quantative blood test if you havent already. This test picks up lower levels of hcg hormone and will not just give you a yes or no, it will tell you your levels and everything.
Best wishes!

Three days late may not give you a positive result. I was 14 dys late and I still had a negative. It depends on your HCG levels. First Response gave me a negative the same day that One Step said I was positive. I got a blood test done and my HCG levels were only 42. That explained it.

Blood tests are nearly 100% accurate. Is there any way you are off on your ovulation day and could have ovulated later? That would be the only way the test wouldn't have been accurate.

Blood tests are the most accurate test. If you are more than three days past conception they are about 100% accurate

you need to talk to a gyno. I do not think you are pregnant if a blood test came out neg. If you took it to early then you might be preg. I don't think so though.

It could be stress. Sometimes if you are trying to hard to conceive that you make yourself think you are pregnant and cause you to have symptoms. It could be that you are just ovulating. I just went to the doctor because I was having symptom and she said I was probably ovulating early.

It cannot hurt to seek medical advice. Let the doctor run additional tests to confirm the results.
