I recently had a blood test for pregnancy and it came back positive but when my doctor ran another blood test a week later it came back negative.

Your hormone levels do significantly drop as the weeks progress…but I don’t know if enough to have a negative result.

Wow…I’ve never heard of that happening. Have you taken any urine tests?

The hCG levels do drop in the 2nd trimester, but not enough to get a negative reading. Don’t fear the worst, but go for a checkup including a sonogram.
