A member asked:
42 weeks pregnant, fetal monitor shows 167 bpm my pulse on oximeter is 89 but blood test is negative for pregnancy. how is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
False negative: The pregnancy test is a false negative - there can be many reasons: outdated reagents, user error, etc. Of more concern is a pulse ox of 89. You should contact your OB.
