HPT Question
Is it possible to be 3 months pregnant and have a HPT come back as a negative?
If you test 3 months after your last encounter and it comes back negative would that be 100% accurate? Basically I'm asking at what point would an HPT be 100% accurate? Thanks for any help on this. |

I do know people who have moved when they've been pregnant and their new Dr insists on a pregnancy test and it comes back negative cos of hormone levels changing - and I'm taking 5 months, and even 8 months definitely pregnant women. |

HPT Question
I think you still have hcg in your system, no matter how pg you are. If you
were 3 months pg, then an hpt should show positive. If your only possible sexual experience which could lead to pregnancy was 3 months ago, and your hpt was negative, then I would say that you aren't pregnant. If you feel like you might be, or haven't had your period since then, you may want to see a doctor and find out what is going on. -- Jamie & Taylor Earth Angel, 1/3/03 Check out Taylor Marlys -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password Check out our Adoption Page at http://home.earthlink.net/~jamielee6 "TChameleon" wrote in message ...

HPT Question
I dont believe they are ever 100% accurate but if it is positive then it is
like 99.9% right I have a friend that does not show + on HPT until she is in her secound trimester but by then she would already have seen the Dr. and had a blood test..

It's not common, but it can happen. Best wishes, Ericka |

The lower limit of 'normal' is pretty low, close to nil. You may just be experiencing the drop a few weeks early. Still, you're far enough along that your doctor should be able to detect a heartbeat with a doppler... when is your next appointment? Marion |

Well, about one month after conception, the typical hCG levels reach over 10 times the sensitivity of any HPT, so I'd say it would be highly exceptional. Then again, when it comes to such matters, you can never say it is 100% accurate. But after 3 months 99.999% would surely do. -- -- I mommy to DS (July '02) mommy to three tiny angels (28 Oct'03, 17 Feb'04 & 20 May'04) guardian of DH (33) |

You mean never ever get a positive HPT, or just not in the first couple of weeks after AF is due? -- -- I mommy to DS (July '02) mommy to three tiny angels (28 Oct'03, 17 Feb'04 & 20 May'04) guardian of DH (33) |

You mean never ever get a positive HPT, or just not in the first couple of weeks after AF is due? I mean that no test result is every 100 percent guaranteed. If you look at any single test, regardless of the point in pregnancy, a negative result does not guarantee that you're not pregnant. When you start aggregating negative results, you start getting a picture that is increasingly reliable, but no single test is a guarantee, especially no single negative result. Best wishes, Ericka |
