Okay I all of a sudden feel like im going crazy! I was due to have my period on the 15th and never got it my husband and I are trying to conceive so I took a hpt on the 15th and it was neg. so I decided oh well I guess im just late. I did not think to much about it besides having weird feelings in my lower stomach but did not even think to much of that because we were up at our cabin hiking and stuff all weekend. Then yesterday woke up and still did not have my period so I decided I would go and get another hpt (I was sick to my stomach when I woke up yesterday and today and I have felt light headed and very tired the past few days). So I got the answer hpt and took one yesterday when I got home and it came back neg. and took another one this morning when I woke up and again it was neg. again. I have never felt the way I feel before im just so confused I am going to make an appointment today to go in and have a blood test done because I am going out of town with my friends this weekend and I do not want to drink if there is even a slight chance that im pregnant. Has anyone had a neg hpt but a positive blood test? What are the chances? Thanks!
thanks sweet libra but I do not think its late because im stressing as I said I actualy thought there was no way I was pregnant after I got the first neg test so untill yesterday when I did not get it again and relized how late I was and went and gotanother test. I have never missed a period befor and have never been this late the latest I have been was a day. And im not so much stressing about it now I just am confused at this point I dont care if I get my period I just dont get why I have not gotten it yet. I mean yes it would be awesome if I was pregnant but im ok with not being to I do not get devistated any more im kinda over that since we have been trying since feb. I just realy want to know what is going on and am now more fearfull that something more serious might be wrong! :-(
 
Hey.

I didnt get my positive pregnancy test until 6 days after my missed period and even then it was very faint. I didnt get a strong line until about 11 days after.

A home pregnancy test and a blood test look for the same thing, HCG as im sure you do. A blood test actually shows the exact amount of HCG whereas a home pregnancy test just looks for a certain amount or over, if that makes sense. I was told Its not very common to have a negative pregnancy test then get a positive blood test unless a chemical pregnancy has occured.

After negative tests your only other options is the doctors so best of luck. Your symptoms probably need looking into anyways.
