negative quant. blood test at 7 dpo

[taks22508x4]

Hi ladies. So here's the deal, lol. My periods have been a little off lately due to coming off of the pill, so first thing is' that I'm not too sure when exactly I ovulated. My last periods: august 11th - technically on time when going by my average 28 day cycles. It was around 5 or so days long' heavy and very painful. August 21st: bled again, this one way short, about 3 days long, moderately light, brownish in color. And the latest, September 14th. Short too, around 3 days, light, just needed a regular pad. My gygno told me that I should go by the bleeding I had on the 21st as my period, to estimate when I will get my next period. It was almost right, but 4 or so days early if I went by that date. Anyway, I am here because I do believe that I am pregnant, I just don't know when I ovukated due to the off periods. I have an app on my phone and that says I should have ovulated on the 28th of last month. Which would mean that I am roughly 7 dpo. If I put in the period I had in august on the 21st with the last one, it says that I would have ovulated around the 26th of last month. Which would mean that I am roughly 9 dpo. Very confused! Any who, I'm sorry this is so long, I hope someone reads it and can help lol. Well, I had a quant. Blood tests done yesterday (the 4th) and it came back neg, which would be more reassuring if I am only 7dpo but if I am 9, it worries me a little. The saidthat it was under the 0.5 mark for hcg. I am having so many signs of preg. Even though it is so early. Around 2dpo I was having cramping on my left side, and slight heaviness in my breasts. Again more pain in the left side around 4 and 5dpo. (These are going by if I am 7dpo today) the past 2 days I have been nausious, having headaches, very very fatigued, heavy feeling in breasts' slight pain when let out of my bra lol. And a bit sore to the touch. I have also had a lot of cm since ovulation time, when usually I am pretty dry. Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant even with the negative blood test? Am I out this cycle? I know I'll never know until shows but Any thoughts would be great!! I would be so so apriciative!! Thank you.

I don't know. But maybe just wait until you think AF is due to arrive and go from there? Still very early days, FX and

No hcg is produced until implantation, which occurs 6-12 days dpo. The symptoms we feel prior (I get them too) are actually produced by progesterone which comes from the luteal cyst left on the ovary that ovulated. That cyst general causes the pains in the ovary off and on the week following ovulation. (also cramps, headaches, sore BBS, moodswings-->all from progesterone) Once the egg implants then the hcg hormone sustains the cyst till the babys placenta takes over progesterone production. If there isn't hcg the cyst deteriorates quickly and then AF shows her lovely face.

All to say, it's still likely that even at 9 dpo there is barely any detectable hCG since implantation may have only occurred a couple days prior, and it only doubles every 2 days. So if Day 1 hcg is 2, Day 3, it is only 4! Blood tests can only detect hCG levels above 5 (trust me, I've had 18 hCG blood tests since March because of my molar pregnancy).

It is totally possible that you are pregnant, I wouldn't give up hope. I think I might be pregnant too. I had an hCG test today and I'm 8dpo. I haven't got the results back, but I'm not worried at all if they are zero. I'll try to let you know the results when I get them, it will probably be Monday.

Don't you just hate the TWW?

I got my hCG results back at 8 DPO and they said they were negative aka below 5. BUT last night (10 DPO) and this morning (11 DPO) I have had BFP tests. It barely makes sense to me! But I don't think the tests are lying, it was even darker today! Keep the hope! Early blood tests can be wrong, I'm proof!

Hi again ladies. Well, since my last post I have been having alll of the symptoms of pregnancy still. Nausea, sore BBS, very tired, feel exhausted after the smallest of tasks (like last night after only doing the dishes!) Indigestion, gas, cramping in my left side and an achy lower back, as well as frequent urination, heightened sence of smell, head aches, food aversion, empty stomach feeling, I've lost 2 pounds since 7 dpo, it is now 11 dpo and the hpt's and Dr office urine is still negative. I requested to get blood work and an ultrasound done. The ultrasound to rule out any ovarian cysts or anything like that. And the blood, well, for hcg of course! I got blood drawn today, will have the results tomorrow, but I have little hope for this cycle, fx though. The ultrasound is tomorrow. Hoping to find a bean and not a bean poop as the lady said who took my blood lol. Well.. before then, what do you think? Could blood test come up neg tomorrow but still be pregnant? Ahh hating this!

since you aren't late yet, they very well could still be negative. Good luck!
