Answer 1

I HAVE WORK IN A GYN OFFICE FOR 9 YRS' NOW AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ UR PREGNANT. SOME WOMEN STILL HAVE A PERIOD AFTER THEY CONCIEVE AND U JUST MIGHT BE ONE OF THEM. JUST WAIT TIL U FINISH UR PERIOD ABOUT A WEEK OR SO THEN RETAKE A PREGNANCY TEST JUST IN CASE UR HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS OK.

Answer 2

First of all... BREATHE.

Second of all... if you went to Planned Parenthood or something like that... all they use is the same pee-on-a-stick method that you use at home, and those aren't always accurate.

If you have now taken three tests on your own (at home) and ALL of them have come back positive (even faintly), then you are pregnant. Just because the one at the center didn't come back positive doesn't mean that you're not pregnant.

As for the bleeding... that is what they call IMPLANTATION BLEEDING. It just means that when the egg implants into your uterine wall, you can have some mild bleeding, and yes you will have cramping. I had HORRIBLE cramps for about 2 weeks after the egg implanted.

My suggestion to you is to get some insurance and go in to a real doctor and have them take a blood test... it will be the most accurate way of testing and they can even give you your HCG levels after reading the results. Since you most likely are pregnant anyways... you need to be seeking medical care from an OB.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

it sounds like your pregnant. when i was first pregnant i has a -,+,-,-,+ for my results out of 5 tests. turns out i was pregnant. there is no such thing as a false positive! im pregnant now with my second child and the line on my home pregnancy test was very faint. so i took another one and that too was faint. so i called up the doctor and got a blood test and that verified it. it is very possible to have a bloody show or discharge even though you are pregnant, even have mild cramping. do not worry about anything. you cant really trust a home pregnantcy test 100%, i advise that you see your doctor or a physician and get a blood test. thats really the only way to know. good luck and i hope all goes well for you!!

Answer 4

Pregnancy tests have a VERY low error rate, so if you got three positives and 1 negative, I would say it's very likely you are pregnant and that one test you were given in the clinic was a lemon.

Some spotting and cramping is very common early in the pregnancy and is not indicative of miscarriage. Heavy bleeding, of course, you should see a doc right away.

I would suggest going back to the doctor and asking for a blood test. They will do an HCG beta test to determine exactly how high your hormone level is. No mistaking your level of pregnancy with this one. You usually get your test results in a day or two.

Answer 5

Hi Tootsie. Here in the UK we regard home pregnancy kits as a "guide". Depending where we buy them from it is possible to get different results. The tests done by the medical profession are the ones to take seriously. Your period may be late due to stress, you say u had an miscarriage last year?. Subconsciously you could be worried that it will happen again. Providing you are not still getting a discharge, then i would suggest waiting for a week and then go back to your clinic for another test. Please try to calm down, and i am sure everything will be fine. Good luck.

Answer 6

You probably are pregnant. Spotting is very common in ealy pregnancy. Not sure why the clinic's test came up negative, maybe it was an old test or maybe they are not using a early pregnancy test. The best way to find out is to have a blood test done where they measure your homone level, which would show positive results as early as 1 day. Give it a couple of days and try the preg. test again, if positive then go see an obgyn to have your intial bloodwork done.

Hope things work out the way you want them to.

Answer 7

Ok first of all if it is a "very serious question" then why ask it here??
You might want to read up on what are called chemical pregnancies. I have had 4 of those.
"What is a chemical pregnancy?
A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman's period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound."

Answer 8

What exactly is your question? None of us can give you a 100% answer about your pregnancy because we don't know your medical history and we can't perform tests. Yes, you are pregnant (at least that's the way it sounds considering you had 3 positive tests). Light spotting and mild cramping is still VERY normal. None-the-less, since you have a history of miscarriage, the sooner you can see a doctor, the better.

If you had even one positive test result, you need to see your OBGYN. All of this information needs to be discussed with a professional. Call and make an appointment soon.

Answer 9

I am not sure what your question is.
I think you should make an appointment with an ob/gyn
and get a blood test that might be more accurate.
I went to the emergency room last night for what I thought
was a urinary tract infection. I was right I do have one
but I also found out (which I expected) that I was pregnant.
They took my blood and tested for several things including
pregnancy. Good luck.

Answer 10

Sounds like you are in fact pregnant. The line showing up 5 minutes later is a positive result!!! and the fact that you tested positive with all of yours is another good sign. It isn't uncommon for there to be spotting or "brown blood" but heavy cramping and bleeding is a signal of miscarriage.
I would go with your instincts...sounds like you are pregnant. Light cramping is also pretty normal by the way.

Answer 11

i am not a doctor but if the blood was brown it means it is OLD blood. and there test could have been wrong. if you are bleeding and cramping i would go to the ER and be check out just in case better safe than sorry. I had some spotting and cramping at about 4-6 weeks and I was told it was normal. not to worry unless i had a flow or was in pain.
