false negatives???

[Christa Martin]

Hiya,

Does anyone have information on false negative when doing HPTs?

I am NEVER late, although I have a longer cycle at 31 days. I am now at 34 days, but don't "feel" pregnant in that I don't have sore/tender breasts or nausea. I would say I have an increased appetite, but I usually do before AF.

A pregnancy would be entirely unexpected. Although my husband had a vasectomy reversal over a year ago, we assumed due to all of our TTC-ing that it wasn't a success and so are in the midst of prepping for IVF (I'm to start meds next month, actually).

I have been doing acupuncture and yoga -- do you think that could cause a change in my cycle? It's alarming, to say the least. It would be wonderful, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I tried a HPT on day 32 and today (day 34). It can't be too soon for a positive to show as I hear of women who get BFPs even before AF is due...

Any advice you could offer would be most appreciated.

Cheers.
CM

You can get false negatives but not false positives. I'd see your GPn they can do a bllod test

Some women don't get positives until they are quite a few days. My 1st test i did i was already a week late and it was negative. Finally got a at nearly 10 weeks. x

Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.

I will wait until I'm officially 1 full week late (if AF doesn't arrive before then) and make an appointment with the GP for a blood test.

By the way, are blood tests done by the GP considered more accurate?
