Home Pregnancy Tests Showed Positive. Later It Went Away. Is There Any Way I Am Not Pregnant After 3 Positive Tests And A Missed Period?
i missed my period and have taken 3 at home pregnancy tests with all positive results. however, on each test the pregnancy line was really light. i went to the doctor today and did a urine test and they did their tests and said it showed positive right away and then it went away. this confused them so i had blood dawn but won't get results for a couple days. am i pregnant? is there any way i am not pregnant after 3 positive (but light) tests and a missed period?

Hi, welcome to healthcare magic.
If your cycles are regular most probably you are pregnant. Of course the blood test will confirm this. 2 days is a very long time for a blood test. Usually the result is available after few hours. Anyway, if the test is positive, start taking Folic acid supplement and have an ultrasound to confirm intrauterine pregnancy and exclude ectopic. If the test is negative you may wait for spontaneous menstruation or visit your doctor to prescribe you progesterone to induce menstruation.
Good luck.
