Knowing When to Take a Preg Test

Absolutely make an appointment. With your history they should consider you "hgh risk" so it's just the smart thing to do and no one will think you're nuts. There must be a reason for how you feel, go check it out...fingers crossed here.

Call your Doctor for a couple of reasons.. 1) Those urine pregnancy tests can give you a false negative result.. 2) If you are not pregnant, there may be something else wrong. That is the best advise that I can give you.

go to your dr and DEMAND a blood test. preg tests arent as great as they claim (i have seen atleast 3 posts on this site about false negatives) if you have low levels it can be up to 2/3 months before you know for sure.

I say get blood work done, go with your gut feeling, and let us all know how it turns out.

Don't feel stupid about anything. The doctor won't think your stupid either way. It's best to go in and get checked as soon as possible, esp. since you've had miscarriages. They will give you a test at the doctors and find out for sure. You could even have other problems that need to be addressed, if it's not pregnancy. You can't always rely on a home test, they are not 100% accurate.

if i were you I would make an appointment to see your doc. I have t children with my first i had all the symptoms the seconed i had nothing, Preg, tests arent allways right and the only way to really be sure is to see the doc,

I went through the same thing with my last child. I took 2 home tests that came back no. Then i went to the drs. 4 times and they were still coming back no. So i finally went to a dr. in liverpool. They did a test and it came back yes but fant lines. So they did a blood count and it said i was. So they did blood count again and it was going up. So they finally did a internal sono and i was 8 weeks by the time i actually found out for sure i was. So i would go the drs. and explain to them, and tell them you want the best test out there to find out. There is no since of going through what i went through. Its crazy. I really thought i had cancer or something because nobody could seem to figure out what was going on with me, until i went to the dr. in liverpool. Her name was Kathy Berry. She was great. Let me know what happens.

It took me over 4 or 5 weeks to show on any kind of test when I was pregnant. At least.

With your history, I think I'd go to the dr and get a blood test.. if you feel you are pregnent and have low enough HCG levels a dr's care may be best.

A woman knows.. I knew both times I was pregnant! So trust your instincts and get it checked out!

I would buy one more home test (you've only taken one right? and get a different brand), and if that still comes up negative, give yourself another week, then go to the doc. If it's positive then you definately have a good reason to go to the doc.

I would call and get an appointment for a test, better to be sure and safe....esp. after 3 miscarriages....Good Luck and go with your gut. Call the Dr's office
