I went to my ob/gyn for a check up and she did a pregnancy test. When the test came back neg she said the it was "good" that I was not pregnant. Why does she say that when we are actively "trying to conceive?"

Yes I told her that we are trying to conceive. I even brought in my tubal reversal report for her to put in her files. I'll give her a chance to see that I am heart fully trying to have a family and maybe she will change her tone. Thanks everyone for all your answers.

person12345 agony auntShe probably assumed you were being tested because you didn't want to be pregnant. I'm sure she didn't mean to sound mean. You could always call and ask why she said that.

Tisha-1 agony aunt"Doctor, why would you say that it's good if the test is negative? You do understand we are trying to conceive? This is a disappointing result for us." Give her a chance to explain herself. We'd just be guessing.

gigolojone agony auntI would like to think it was all a misunderstanding.

Does your ob/gyn know you are trying to conceive?

If know,then that could be the reason why.

aunt honesty agony auntThe only person that can answer your questions here is your ob/gyn. Talk to her about it and see what she says. There is obviously some reason why a negative test result was good at this time, but these are the questions that you need to be able to ask her so that you know exactly what is going on. So learn more by talking to her and ask her anything that you are in doubt of. Good luck and all the best for the future.

She probably just made a mistake since there are a vast majority of people that do not want to be pregnant. Is there a chance she could have forgotton that you were trying for a baby? Why dont you ask her? Also since you are trying to concieve one of the best things you can do is try to put it out of your head. I know many people that give up on trying and forget about it then next month bam theyre pregnant. Best wishes to you!
