Urine Tests.


Has anyone never got a postitive on a home urine test? when i was preg but m/c i didnt get a positive at all even at 8 week. but i got a positive on a blood test.

im now 4 weeks pregnant, i havent had a to prove it yet but im 4 days late & got preg symtoms. im at the docs in the mornin 4 a blood test, was wondering if its normal to not get a on a urine test and things with the baby were okay.

did the doctors not explain why you didn't get a positive urine test at 8 weeks? i would find this really unusual i know its possible to not get a positive earlier on but by 8 weeks you i would of thought the HCG would be really high?

Sorry, I've never had a blood test to confirm it, so I've no idea, but I just wanted to wish you luck for the morning, and fingers crossed you get your pregnancy confirmed

Loads of ladies don't get positives on urine tests. It means you wee doesn't carry/filter the hormones (something like that). Don't worry your fine and so can you baby be.

the pregnacy wasnt planned and at the time i didnt really know much about it so i didnt really kno what to ask. maybe im just worrying this time around, maybe its abit to early 4 it to show up because im only 4 weeks.

Some women don't get positives on HPTs because they don't metabolize hCG well into their urine. A small subset of that don't metabolize hCG into their urine at all and thus never seen a positive. It is quite possible that you are one of those women. Good luck on your blood test!
