blood on hpt = positive? Hmmm

[OrthoChick]

LittleBug! I asked an OB at work what the deal could be with your situation. She said that the only thing she could think of (besides pregnancy) is that there may have been a small amount of retained placenta that is still secreting a tiny bit of hcg. Weird though, considering it's been 5 months! you would probably be having symptoms of infection.

you're not crazy

If I wasn't so scared to nick myself I would! But I'm only 7dpo, so I would think it would be too early.

pricking your finger with a pin doesnt hurt if you do it fast and in the right place..side of your ring or middle finger...and you dont need tons of blood..I only had like maybe 2 medium drops and then rinsed that finger with saline into the clean medicine cup and then used the dropper to pick it up and put on test

Thanks for the tip MrsJones. I took one of my ic OPKs. I don't think it worked very well though. I barely got a control line nevermind anything else. I can see a very faint positive line but not as dark as my urine opk from earlier today

Hi OrthoChick, thanks for speaking to your OB The Dr said i have an infection so gave me antibiotics but she just assumed it was a wee infection. I haven't started them yet because i didn't believe her but i am feeling worse as the days go by and if i didn't know any better i would think i really was pregnant

Last night i SOAS (spit on a stick) and it was a very faint positive today i POAS and my 'shadow line' is even more visible today

Fingers crossed AF stays away for you i think i am a lost cause but i have a feeling you will be getting your BFP soon x

I'm pregnant now should I out some blood on an hpt to confirm this theory...? I have a frer left lol this has me curious!

 

[dealqueen]

how can you even see the lines? doesnt the blood make in so you cant see? When i was watching untold stories the girl was 16 and was in for stomach pains. the dr suspected a tubal but the girl said she wasnt active and she couldnt pee cause i guess your body when its in stress stops blood flow to places and thats one of the first places. So he took the blood and they couldnt see the results then they put it in a centrifuge and used the plasma and thats how they confirmed the pregnancy.

When I did mine, I used a lancet to get a drop of blood and sucked it up into the plastic dropper that came with my test and also sucked up a little bit of water with it so that it was more pink than deep red. I didn't have any trouble seeing it, I posted a pic of my blood so you can see what it looks like. But like I said, I added a bit of water to mine.

Hey girls! I just found this https://academiclifeinem.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/trick-of-trade-urine-pregnancy-test.html
Apparently blood can be used on urine hpts AND it works

LittleBug:
well, it'll be interesting to see how you feel after the course of antibiotics. if you are still miserable, you can go back to your doctor with one hand on your hip and a positive preggo test in the other, lol!

As for me, I am kinda worried...3 days late now, but my line is getting fainter may be on my way to a chemical. Keep us posted, lovey!

Awww, fingers crossed for you it's not a chemical! Did your urine tests turn positive as well, or are you talking about the blood tests?

OrthoChick are you sure you didn't add the same amounts of blood and saline? maybe the slightest difference could change the result?? Just a thought. I will keep my FX for you!!

 

[samthemum]

I really want to BOAS now, too much of a chicken to stab myself with any of the items I have in the house right now. Sometimes being in the health profession means you know too much haha. I have no lancets in the house, and I highly doubt I can get my hands on any tonight. Ohh the desperation. I need to POAS or BOAS.
