Negative blood tests but still pregnant?

Question

I’m just curious because I swear I’ve heard of this happening, but maybe I’m mistaken. 
Is it possible to get a negative blood test result but still be pregnant? Has it happened to you or someone you know? Have you only heard of it happening to people through online sources? Or do you think it’s impossible because you’ve never heard of it happening?

Answer

When you’re pregnant HCG is released into your blood stream. So if you test negative there isn’t any or enough to consider you pregnant. Therefore you can’t be pregnant with a negative blood test.

Answer

You can fail blood and urine tests and still be pregnant, some ladies don't show up till 8weeks and some never! Bodies are wack and there really aren't any rules so it makes it hard

Answer

With this pregnancy, I had a positive beta and then a negative repeat test two days later. It was a lab error, though. I doubt that happens very often, or at least I hope it doesn’t because it was VERY upsetting.

Answer

I’m sure there have been some crazy cases somewhere that it’s happened, but pretty close to never. Blood tests are very accurate.

Answer

I’ve never heard of that. I do know that in cases of phantom pregnancy your body continues as though it’s pregnant even when it isn’t. 
I do hope that isn’t your case though. 💙
