How long did you expect pregnancy, but after the test you saw one strip again ... This is not a reason to be upset. It happens when a girl is 100% sure that she is pregnant, but the test does not confirm this. A negative test during pregnancy may not indicate your miscalculations, but, for example, that your body stubbornly hides an obvious fact. But how can this happen?

Negative pregnancy test

In any human body there are special hormones - genadotropins. In the common people they are called hCG. So, when pregnancy occurs, their level increases several times. At what in blood of these hormones it is much more, than in urine. It is with this factor that a negative pregnancy test may be associated. The indicator of the tester simply does not capture a slightly increased amount of hormones.

The result of the test will also depend on its sensitivity. Naturally, the more expensive the product, the more sensitive it will be. Therefore, if you purchased an inexpensive test, it may not be as sensitive as you would like.

Another reason for a negative test during pregnancy can be a poor-quality product. For example, you purchased several tests at once in one pharmacy. But perhaps the conditions for their storage were not observed there, and then the entire batch would be spoiled. Therefore, it is better to take several tests in different pharmacies.

If you are sure that an “interesting situation” has come, while the tester continues to deny it, you can donate blood for an hCG analysis.

A negative test during pregnancy may be the result of any inflammatory processes or tumors in the female body, as well as a hormonal failure as a result of problems in the hypothalamus and thyroid gland.

The reason for a negative test may be a threatened miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. In this case, the production of the hormone is blocked. And since this condition is quite dangerous for the expectant mother and for the child, it is necessary to carry out a set of measures that prevent the manifestation of possible consequences. An experienced specialist will conduct all the necessary examinations and analyzes to identify possible pathologies, as well as take a set of measures for the normal course of pregnancy.

The best way out of this situation will be an ultrasound and a blood test. And if the test results show pregnancy, at a time when the test denies it, then it makes sense to seek advice from a gynecologist and an endocrinologist.

It must be remembered that any changes in the functioning of one organ in the human body can affect other body systems.

In any case, a negative pregnancy test is a reason to take tests and check with a doctor. Although in most cases the course of such a latent pregnancy does not differ from an ordinary one, when all the signs are “on the face”.
