Pregnant, Fluctuating Results, Bloated Belly. How Do I Know For Sure?
Yes. I'm going through a confusing time. I keep getting different results for pregnancy. I took a blood test saying I'm pregnant. Then I took another when I went to the hospital to verify that came back negative. A few weeks later, I took three store bought pregnancy tests which were positive, but the next day, I got a negative result. I'm having all the symptoms and my belly is growing, according to everyone else. I'm confused!

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The serum beta HCG test is a specific test of pregnancy. Since the test was positive earlier, it means a pregnancy was there. There could be an early miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
