Should I be worried?

As a joke my sister (who btw has a 7 week old baby) wanted to trick her hubby into thinking that she was PG again so she had me pee on a stick. I actually took 3 of the clear blue digital tests and all three were negative. I am concerned i should be about 17 weeks right now and def have a baby bump. Could it be that I have not given up sushi? I was told it being bad for you was an old wives tale.

How old were the tests? They don't last forever you know...

What did your doctor say about sushi? I think mine said to avoid it, but I don't eat fish anyway, so I didn't really think about it. If you're having doubts, I'd call your doctor...

Eating sushi while pregnant turns your baby into a fish. That's why your tests are coming out negative. Don't worry, in 23 weeks you'll deliver a beautiful baby sea bass.

You're kidding about the sushi, right? Because you'd have gotten food poisioing from it first (if it did anything) and I think you'd remember that.

You aren't pregnant.  It's a booze gut.  Do some sit ups and lay off the wine fat ass.

You shouldn't eat raw sushi b/c of the parasites and mercury in the fish.  You can eat cooked "sushi" like California rolls, or shrimp tempura rolls.  The mercury is VERY bad for you and the baby.

I was told as a general rule of thumb not to consume any meat... red, white, or fish... unless it is fully cooked. No medium rare steaks, no pink hamburgers, no raw fish, etc etc.

To the neg test, the only way you'll rest your mind is to call your doc. That's what they're there for! :)

I'm sorry, this made me lol. Giving up sushi is a personal decision and it will not cause you to have negative pregnancy tests. I eat a roll here and there an have no qualms about it. My OB agreed that in moderation, it's fine.

I don't know the reason for sure, but I did hear that hcg levels taper off after a few weeks of pregnancy. Lots of people freak when the lines start getting lighter, but it's apparently normal. Call your OB if you're concerned.

lmao - it's not the sushi!

I've heard that once you are pg the hormones that turn a test positive can be so high that it no longer works on the test.

I thought it was Tuna?  I could be wrong.

I have heard that levels of HCG drop drastically after the first trimester after the placenta is established and takes over the pregnancy. I am not positive..... but it could be the reason?

I wouldn't worry. You can get false negative's pretty easily, if your urine is too diluted, or the test is expired. I would maybe buy a different brand, my personal favorite is first response and try that.

The mercury doesn't go away because it's cooked...that's why you limit certain types of fish cooked or raw.
