Home preg. tests...Women only....

Not to be gross, but have there been any other women out here who have had a positive preg. test with these only to find out your really not preg.? I took two different brands a week ago and both said pregnate. This morning I woke up to heavy bleeding and clots. We went to the ER only to be told they found no signs of a pregnancy ever occuring. Would any of you recommend me still going to my OBGYN for a check up? I'm really embarrased that I went to the ER for my period!! I truly believe that I was pregnate but would like some input from other ladies out there...(like I said, I'm not trying to be gross just wanting some input) Sorry to all the men that read this

If you are worried, go get yourself checked out! Trust your gut! If you did indeed miscarry, Im so sorry!

first of all this is not gross it is just part of being a human. I would go see your GYN as soon as possible just in case you need a D&C. If your regular period is not a heavy as you had this morning then you had all rights too seek help. I NOT A WOMAN BUT I PLAY ONLINE LOLLOLOLOLOL

I haven't had any blood in the stool since I left the ER...if I was on my period I would think there would be some evidence of it but nothing...??? I'm worried I guess..but like I said a little embarrassed!!

your right, you would still be on your period is what im thinking. I would go get it checked out.

I'd make an appointment with OBGYN just to be safe. Like Slick said, if you were pregnant, they may need to make sure with ultrasound that you don't need a D&C. The at home tests don't usually show a false positive. Have you taken another one since the ER visit? Breakthrough bleeding during pregnancy is a pretty common thing.

Good luck!

Ovarian pregnancy is possible. Best to go see Dr.

I haven't taken another test...didn't really think about it...will try to get into the Dr. tomorrow...my first appt was set for the 8th but don't know if I should go before then...I'll call and see what they say in the morning...

I would call them first thing, I'm willing to bet they have you come in ASAP.

Yes, you should go before then. Like Nitro said, you don't want it to be an ectopic pregnancy.

At least see if they'll do blood work to check your hormone levels.

They did blood work today but it wasn't 15 min after they took it when the dr came in and told me the "news"....

Would this be your first pregnacy?

I agree with slickjay. Women shouldn't be ashamed of what they are. And shockingly enough, men do knowc about some of these things. Don't talk about your period at the dinner table though. Besides, I guarantee that men want to know if pregnancy tests can give false positives too. If things are unusual I'd suggest being checked further too.

This would be my 2nd preg. I have a happy, healthy 3 1/2 yr old boy Maybe I'm just too old for this!!? (41) ha ha!!!

dont forget that he is VERY cute!!!

41 is pushing it. Yeah I know, women quite a bit older have gotten pregnant, but alot of women hit menopause in their 40's too. They say the height of fertility is from puberty to the early 20's. Some researchers think the reason women often get the hornies so bad in their 30's and 40's is because nature is telling them to get busy making babies while they still can.

Men can still produce till very old age, but they claim there may be a greater chance of offspring having mental disorders if the father is over 45. Not sure why.

I had my tubes tied 8 years ago and that increased my "hornies" it sure wouldn't come from the thought of getting pregnant! lol chuckle snort

But on a more serious note, you have some good advice here and glad that you are using it and that you asked!!!

Yeah, they say some women go nuts after menopause just because they feel safe. I was talking about biological induced urges, not psychological.

women go nuts after menopause.......true fact I seen 2 of em go nuts, and 1 is still walking the streets

Well yeah, alot of women just go nuts in general with menopause.

They can do a blood test, that will tell you if you've had any of the prego hormones in your blood in the past 30 days. Go to the Dr, I would..

OH, Im so sorry!

I'm sorry.
