It's always crazy to me how some people can do everything to not get pregnant, still get pregnant, and have a healthy baby without doing anything extra during pregnancy. But some people try so hard, do all the things they're supposed to, and still struggle with unexplained infertility and recurrent miscarriage. No hate on anyone it's just crazy to me how different everyone's bodies are

[@tuesdayfloring5104]

Tell me about it- my cousin didn’t see a doctor the entire time she was pregnant and was an active drug user. I go to the doctor once a week and have to have genetic testing done and be pressured to do more. I now don’t even know if I’m going to deliver a live baby. What the actual hell?

[@tuesdayfloring5104]

tree person I appreciate that, I miscarried earlier this year and now this. Apparently, triploidy or trisomy 13 & 18 are showing signs of extra chromosomes. It’s been tough but we’ve talked about it and if things don’t turn out, we are going to get on birth control and grieve until the time is right to try again. It’s all we can do! Congratulations on the baby! They’re beautiful and amazing! I have a six year old son, but this will be my husbands first child. So he’s taking this really hard because he truly believes he was born to be a dad. I believe it too!

I had 2 false negatives on at home tests at 2 months and a false negative blood test when I was 3 and 1/2 or 4 months. I found out I was pregnant at almost 6 months. The first ultra sound was kind of hilarious. None of us were expecting a six month old fetus. lol Now he's a healthy 16 year old ❤️

[@laurasimmer9612]

Wow! This seems to be more common than we think. I didn't find out I was pregnant with my daughter until I scheduled a ultrasound. I was convinced I had another cyst on my ovary or something. I really thought I was pregnant until I kept failing DOZENS of home pregnancy tests over 2 weeks past my missed period & my OB ran all kinds of tests - all came back normal... except my prolactin levels were higher than normal.... during that ultrasound, I found out I was almost 7 weeks pregnant! 😊 That explained my high prolactin, but not all my negative pregnancy tests! Testing positive late or not at all on home pregnancy tests seems to be alot more common than we think! I hear stories all the time now since I had my daughter!

Ahh 😌 science

[@EvBarney]

I had had a positive pregnancy test, was having all the symptoms (nausea, and all that jazz) went for a checkup and they did more bloodwork (I guess that was just routine) I was told that the results said that not only was I NOT pregnant, but could not have been pregnant recently (I was at 14 weeks) They suggested 3 possibilities: It was a blighted ovum, the pregnancy was ectopic, I had experienced a hysterical pregnancy. They sent me for an ultrasound to figure out which. What we saw was a perfectly normal fetus sucking his thumb and doing summersaults. My "Blighted Ovum" will be 34 this summer.

[@moonoreo]

I didn't have symptoms and took a test, negative. I was also on the pill 🤷🏾‍♀️ I was also prescribed Wellbutrin at lowest dose. It caused me upset stomach to the point I felt what I thought were kicks. I just googled it instead of going to the hospital and it said gas can feel like kicks. So I decided to just keep going to work. They did a blood test. Positive! They were also confused as to why my hormones were so high. 7 months pregnant. My only princess is almost 8

[@EvBarney]

@@moonoreo The human body is a weird and wonderful thing!

[@kittykay088]

I got a negative pregnancy, urine and blood till I felt movement, I was about 18 weeks, went back told my Dr, got a urine test negative, got an ultrasound and there was a baby! Got blood tests and we’re negative, they sent me with a genetic specialist cuz the Dr said it wasn’t normal and something might be wrong with the baby. Everything came back normal and I have a healthy 12yr old son.

[@val-wr4je]

Evelyn Lee Barney but the difference is that you paid attention to your body. You knew you were pregnant.

Karla Monreal I’ve missed my period for two months now, which is not normal at all for me, I’m showing all the signs of being pregnant, nausea, stomach pains, frequent need for the restroom, heartburn, headaches. Every home pregnancy test I take comes back negative. I have an appointment set up in May (because of everything going on w/ corona) I’m worried my blood test will come back negative and they WONT let me try a sonogram to check just in case. Did you have to fight with your dr to get a sonogram?

Gnome uni? that's University in the UK right? wow you get your degree to be a midwife in the UK!! In the US you need to be careful of midwives, they're wildly under-educated and caused a lot of unfortunate issues. that's why I made sure my Midwife is a nurse with a midwife certificate! I hope you have a lot of success with your choice, it took me forever to figure out what I was interested in. now Im lucky enough get to work with kids, and do my best to deal with their parents...lol... no really you're lucky to be where you are parents in the US right now are a real nightmare! the trend right now is free-range parenting... it's as bad as it sounds

[@abby_elizabeth8435]

Me to girl

[@heleena87]

Ashley Burbank yes it’s a 3 year degree here. There’s various nursing degrees, midwifery is one of them. If you want to be a midwife AND a nurse it’s 2 separate degrees. Most mothers are cared for, and babies delivered by midwives here (a couple consultant doctor appointments) unless your are deemed high risk or having a c-section then you get a doctor. But there is always a doctor or two available in the maternity hospital if needed.

[@ameliarose47]

[@cortneyblohm466]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MENTIONING THE HOOK EFFECT. Please, please, PLEASE bring this up again in a longer video in the future. I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 17.5 weeks as a result of the Hook effect (both urine AND blood tests) when I finally got an ultrasound and confirmed the HUGE fetus hanging out in my uterus. My doctor was stunned and couldn't understand how it happened. It's crazy how little this phenomenon is discussed in the medical field, because apparently it happens a LOT more than we think and gets chalked up to an error in the lab. TEN NEGATIVE TESTS IS NOT A LAB ERROR. I didn't even have a NAME for what happened to me until last year when I saw this video for the first time. During my second pregnancy, however? Picked it up right away on all the tests, and I knew from the jump. Bizarre how different two pregnancies can be... Thanks again for bringing it up MDJ!

[@annabees]

hi! sorry your comment is old but I have a question. I'm searching for this effect on the web and there isn't a lot of precise info for this. Your pregnancy was quite normal appart from those failed tests? Did you do the first test early on in your pregnancy? I'm trying to get pregnant, but I've always had irregular cycles before the pill and stopped the pill less than a year ago. So I know periods can be even more irregular... Long story short, did two tests (negative) 10 days appart and now I'm wondering if I should get to my ObGYN (but he is far from my home so I'd rather not go if not necessary), my general practitioner, or get yet again another test :/

[@spvillano]

@@annabees my wife was irregular as all get out, PCOS being diagnosed late. With both successful pregnancies and a few lost pregnancies, she routinely tested negative for pregnancy. It was so bad that one hospital insisted she wasn't pregnant, despite ultrasounds showing a healthy and growing fetus. That was a case of a teaching hospital learning from their patient.

[@annabees]

@@spvillano Well, thanks for your story! Wasn't pregnant but indeed PCOS suspicion... I'm waiting a bit before confirming diagnosis, I'm starting to get periods less than 2months appart so there's hope.

[@oliviabehill7038]

Crazy my second and third pregnancy's I found out right away too. It was just with my first.

[@giftofthewild6665]

Right? It's not even that rare. I've heard of loads of women having it on ttc forums. Obviously they knew they were pregnant since they were testing early as actively trying, and got positive before the hook effect occurred. But the topic of the hook effect comes up a lot on the forums. It seems that women who have struggled with infertility and TTC for years know more than the doctors sometimes 😂

I used probably 10-12 home pregnancy tests, all were "I dunno" - no specific lines, if it was to be blue lines, mine showed a purple smudge..

I called my OB/GYN office on a Sat. morning, and got a Dr. I had never seen, but God Bless Her! She called the hospital and ordered blood work, I went and they said to call them in an hour, the tech taking the blood knew how badly I wanted this pregnancy... When I called in an hour, they put me on hold for - ever, but the speaker phone at the hospital came on and the people in the lab were all cheering and congratulating :) It was an incredibly difficult pregnancy, but my daughter was born ON her due date weighing 6lb 8 oz.. She is 27 now and I am certain she still hangs the stars and the moon, my baby blessing, I still thank God many many times a day, and send her a quick "I love you, I am so proud of you" text everyday... She was an honor student with a very difficult major, but she did it, and now last night told me she is getting married... Miracles do happen, she proved it.

I have PCOS. I have always had irregular periods. I’ve been off from 3 months up to 5 months. My 2nd pregnancy was a complete surprise. I took a pregnancy test came out negative, had what I thought was a period. I was feeling pregnancy symptoms for the next couple of weeks. Took another pregnancy test, came back positive. I was pregnant. Then my “period” came again. I thought I’d miscarried. Freaked out, I’ve had a miscarriage before. Went to the hospital cause my blood type is A- and I need a Rhogam shot. They did an ultrasound, they found the baby was 8 weeks. They saw a heartbeat. It was strong. She was born super healthy and is now 9yrs old. She’s my miracle baby.

[@Poultrychick]

Congratulations on your baby! So sorry you had to go through miscarriages. I’m A- too Got Rhogham for bleeding early and having a SCH but told the OB doctor first appointment I wanted the fetal rhesus testing. There’s 2 companies I found in the USA that offer it. But the doctors office needs to order the kit. They do testing pretty standard overseas to reduce the risk of exposure for the mother to viruses. Ireland had tens of thousands of mothers exposed to hepatitis before they knew about hepatitis. Billion to One unity NIPT screening , out of California testing after 10weeks devyser - NIPT fetal rhesus screening, out of Rowell GA testing after 10weeks I believe Of course we can only make the decisions with the info we have, and I didn’t have the test done before I had bleeding. The ER doctor said I’m in 10-30% risk of miscarriage, so praying everything resolves. Hope this helps in the future. I plan on still getting the test done so I know if I need any more or not.

@@kheuzi6558 Doctors have to remember that things like cancer exist and not always in convenient organs. Just because you're young, doesn't mean you can have had some disease or even a car accident or assault or something that destroys your uterus.

[@kheuzi6558]

@@adrimare1 truly they do need to remember, it's why my mom has ptsd with doctors, so many brush her things off purely because she's 37 and has a young face, people often mistake us for sisters or even friends which makes it hard for doctors to take her seriously for some reason because "a pretty young woman can't have things wrong with her" Hopefully things will change for the better where good doctors outnumber the bad ones.

As a medical laboratory technologist, one of the possibilities for getting a false negative serum test for bHCG is taking too much biotin. The amount in a normal multivitamin doesn't interfere much but if you take extra biotin it can cause your bHCG number to be falsely lowered. Edit: hook effect on a serum test is extremely rare. Our assay goes up to 1 million IU/L and the average pregnancy maxes out around 100,000.

[@TheEmmakathryn]

Would the hook effect be more likely in a qualitative serum test? Or with older lab techniques? Also hcg can drop after 8weeks or so? (Although unlikely to drop below 25 so... I dunno) this has always fascinated me!

[@hedgers2005]

@@TheEmmakathryn I'm not sure about qualitative serum testing, I've never worked with it. I would expect that it would be more likely as the testing concept would be similar to qualitative urine testing and therefore have similar limitations. HCG levels do drop starting around week 10-12 but they tend to stabilize well above 4000 and can stay as high as 100,000 for the remainder of the pregnancy, so they should be detectable at any point. I say should, human bodies are weird and do crazy stuff we've never seen before.

That could be it. Biotin is in a lot of supplements for dieting for women (not for men, for some odd reason). Even more commercial fitness brands like Prozis have gone crazy with marketing Biotin as a diet supplement for "better energy metabolism" and "more healthy nervous system", plus the whole healthy nails and hair thing, with 5000-6000mcg per day. Considering also normal diet foods, such as eggs, spinach and cauliflower, which also have high amounts of biotin... Would this be enough to interfere with the test?

[@hedgers2005]

@@sorayaimperial it would be enough to interfere if you are taking more than 1 mg per day. The degree of impact on results depends on how much exactly you're taking but it still shouldn't be enough to mask a mid-pregnancy HCG result completely. It definitely could mask an early pregnancy result though. Biotin interferes with a lot of immunoassay tests as it can be a part of the reaction itself. Troponin results can appear decreased as well if you take too much, and that's what tells a doctor if you're having a heart attack 😬

Here's a RARE story for you: When I was 6 weeks pregnant with my second child, I had a "miscarriage." I went to the E.R. with terrible bleeding. After I was evaluated, the OB gave me a D&C. Two days later I spiked a fever and was back in the E.R. for an infection in my uterus. A few tests later, I found out I was still pregnant. I can not find anyone else that has experienced this. EDIT: My daughter was NOT a twin. I did not lose a baby. The lab tested what was removed from me and there was no fetal tissue present.

[@lenaandbaby6055]

What do you mean? Did a twin die and they took that one out? Or were they just completely not looking when they did the d&c and then didn’t check they cleared it out? Did no one ever give you an ultrasound the whole time? lol I’m not doubting you I’m just so intrigued!!

[@amandacypriano9713]

Hi! No, there wasn't a twin. They did an ultrasound and didn't find a heartbeat. It was actually too early for a belly ultrasound. When I went back they did a vaginal ultrasound and that's when they found a heartbeat. By some stroke of luck, they missed her. She's 14.5 months now.

[@Faythe98]

Amanda Cypriano wow that truly is a miracle. I’m glad you and baby are okay.

[@naomigarrett5087]

@@amandacypriano9713 wow I'm sorry but you're ob sounds really stupid, bleeding in early pregnancy is common and does not always mean you're having a miscarriage, you could have had a subchorionic hematoma, also it's not abnormal to not be able to see the heartbeat on a belly ultrasound that early, you possibly would have been able to see it if your OB had given you a transvaginal ultrasound, on top of that I can't believe even when your doctor thought you were having a miscarriage somehow missed the baby, which ended up being a good thing for you obviously, but your doctor sounds kind of stupid LOL also if I were you I would be mad that I went through all that physical and mental trama just to end up with a uterus infection and still be pregnant! But at least your little baby is safe :)

[@AvonEssexandSuffolk]

Yep I've had this. I lost a baby at 9 weeks and had all the tests and was told the hormones were lowering so I had definitely miscarried. 4weeks later I still felt pregnant but the gp assumed it was psychological. They redid bloods to be sure and it stated I was pregnant. They re scanned me but the baby was tiny compared to it's now what should have been 13 week size. So we were told to prepare ourselves as with the baby now very small and the previous hormone changes we could lose it. 4 weeks later we went for another scan and the baby was now the size of a 12 week baby and had grown 4 weeks worth in 4 weeks. A specialist was called in and it was confirmed the baby on the scan was not the same baby from my supposed miscarriage as the dates and babies size and weight gain didnt match. I had been pregnant with 2 babies conceived 2 months running and the second baby had managed to survive the miscarriage of the first baby. The second baby is now 11 years old.

Well it’s a certain condition I forgot the name, but sometimes you can believe something like pregnancy so much that your body will show symptoms. (Not big symptoms but because they believe they are pregnant they see any indication of pregnancy for justification for their belief).
