I went to the doctor today for a pregnancy test. She said the test was negative, although she wants me to take a blood test next week. She told me that I could be 50/50, but she doubts that I am. So anyway she gives me folate tablets just a 5day one for now. Then she told me that she will give me more pregnancy folate tablets. My question is What is going on? Am i or arnt I..

You could be showing very little amounts of HCG and if you are pregnant she wants to make sure baby is able to grow so she gives you the tablets and if you have a normal to high number when you take the test it means you are pregnant. If you have little to no number it could be you had a chemical pregnancy meaning that you WERE pregnant but your body aborted due to an abonormality with the embryo. It's natures way of making sure we dont have sick children.

She said she doubts it, and the test said no, so I am assuming that she is giving you the blood test to make sure. Maybe she thinks that you will be pregnant by then if she gives you these tablets to take. I am not familiar with folate tablets, but there are a lot of newer things than when I got pregnant. They did not even have a home pregnancy test then. It does not sound like to me you are pregnant at this time.

If you are confused about the folate, its a vitamin that protects the fetus against spina bifida. Since the doc is not sure that you AREN'T pregnant she is just being careful. Next time you aren't sure what is going on ask the doctor. Its their responsibility to answer your questions and your responsibility to take charge of your own health care.

Shes giving you the tablets just incase you are because it is very very important to take the folic acid in your early weeks of pregnancy especially, so that your baby developes without any serious birth defects. Keep taking them even if it turns out that your not pregnant so that they are constantly in your system when you are trying to concieve. and when your succesfully do then your baby will be healthy! Goodluck. fingers crossed that you are then hay!

You've had this answered to the best of your doctor's ability. She doesn't think that you are, however, if she is mistaken, she doesn't want your baby to suffer things like spina bifida.
You will your answers confirmed next week!

well possibly you are showing traces of the hormone which is released during pregnancy. it may be a ow level so your physician could be unsure do to that. we carry the hormone but when you are pregnant it is stronger. Good luck and congrats
