Ok so I went into the T LAB and they said I needed to see a doctor grrr so I went straight to the FPA (kellz I couldnt get into the one behind Farmers so I went to the one opposite the warehouse :)) They did a urine test and said your not pregnant its negative. I said can we please do bloods just to be sure and so they did I wont get the results until tomorow afternoon though but the doctor I saw did say it would be unlikely that I was pregnant so there is my story lol I will let you know when I get the results tomorow. On the otherhand we dont know why my period is so late so that will be something else I will be wanting to look into if it hasnt arrived within another week or so.]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:04:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15298&PID=327748&title=getting-ridiculous#327748 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15298&PID=326462&title=getting-ridiculous#326462 Author: NeoshasMummy

The only thing I notice when I am stressed or run down I tend to spot alot. Anyway I will know for sure once I get that blood test although come to think of it I have a feeling I did ovulate late. I dont really chart or anything but I have been writing down cm to get a general idea it seems MAYBE I ovulated a week later??.... hmmm and we did the baby dance around that time as well. Gosh how do u girls do this its so confusing lol

Yes. Bloodtests measure the amount of HCG and are more sensitive than HPTs (most measure HCG levels of 25 +)

Here's an extract from storknet.com

There are two types of blood tests you can get from a health care provider.
1) A quantitative blood test (or the beta hCG test) measures the exact amount of hCG in the blood. This means it can pick up very small amounts of hCG, making it a very accurate test.
2) A qualitative hCG blood test gives a simple yes or no answer to whether you are pregnant. This test is more like a urine test in terms of its accuracy.

Blood tests can pick up hCG earlier in a pregnancy than urine tests can. Blood tests can tell if you are pregnant about 6 to 8 days after you ovulate (or release an egg from an ovary). Urine tests can determine pregnancy about 2 weeks after ovulation. Some more sensitive urine tests can tell if you are pregnant as early as 6 days after you conceive, or one day after you miss a menstrual period.

Good luck!!

When I was over a week late my line was very very very faint - you almost couldn't see it. Also when my sister got pregnant as a teenager and I took her to the md she asked her to tell her that the test was wrong to which the md responded that "false negatives are common but false positives are not".

So basically what I'm saying is that the tests aren't infallible.

I would go to the md and get a blood test done. If it's positive it's a free appointment.

edit: just read posts above and see that it's no always free

Why don't you get a blood test? Thats the most accurate test.

You don't need a doctors 'script' for it either. Just go the the medlat/pathlab or whoever your close to.

anyone know about good tests to use. I have been using the first response test because they are cheap and also because they pick up levels from 25 where as clearblue picks up from 50.

With my last pregnancy I bought one of each. Did the clear blue first and it said negative then did the first response after that and it was positive but only very faintly and it took ages to come up! Either im not preg or maybe I need to get the discover one??

dont want to spend that kind of money if its going to be negative ]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:45:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15298&PID=325411&title=getting-ridiculous#325411 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15298&PID=325403&title=getting-ridiculous#325403 Author: NeoshasMummy
