Having gone to Planned Parenthood and having a negative blood test come back, we were told she isn't pregnant. However, they cannot say what is causing her symptoms. Any ideas? Likelihood of the blood test giving a false negative?

It is very possible to get a false neg test. I would have them conduct an ultra sound, and check the progesterone levels in her blood. There are many factors that can cause problems like this.
I think the best thing is to take her to a OB/GYN Specialist. This way you can find out what is going on.
I wish you all the best of Luck,,,,

Here are Some signs of Pregnancy... and other Explainations for them other than pregnancy als
Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.
Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.
Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test
Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.
Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.
Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.
Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.
Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.
Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.
Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.
Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.
Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.
Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.
Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

blood tests are very accurate.
It's highly unlikely she is pregnant...
she is probably expriencing 'psuedo' pregnancy symptoms.
This usually happens to a woman when she has a deep desire to be pregnant. The body will actually trick her into thinking she is pregnant due to this desire, and will develop preggo symptoms that "mimic" those of a pregnant woman.

If they say it's negative it probably is. It could be a number of things. Sometimes hormones can get messed up and your body acts like it's pregnant when it isn't. If they don't go away and if she skips another period she should go see her obgyn to see if theres something else going on.

Hey Dude, if she isn't pregnant this time, you are lucky. It's time to take her to the Court House for a marriage license then to the Justice of the Peace for a marriage certificate before you two really screw up and give birth to a child before you marry.

could be a cycst in the uterus, or not enough hormone to register, get an ultrasound, if there is a heart beat it will come through in the picture.
