OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) Questions Pregnancy

What is the meaning of having negative T-scores?

I am 28 years old and have been trying to conceive for the last 3 months. The last test i did was negative however I can feel the symptoms of pregnancy. My gynaecologist has suggested a re -test and mentioned it could be a negative T-score during my last test. What does this mean?

I'm not sure what your doctor meant by a T-score in this case. A T-Score is a statistical test that is used to see if a event or lab test was likely to have occurred by chance. It may be that your doctor's lab reports significance based on T-scores. In any case, the bottom line is that if you feel pregnant and you are "late" with your period you should definitely repeat the test.
I have not heard of a T score as it relates to fertility. I am not a reproductive endocrinology expert. I believe Anti mullerian hormone and Follicle stimulating hormone and serum progesterone are components of fertility tests. I have not heard of a negative T score.

Please have your gynecologist define the T-score as it could mean different things.
I am not sure what the doctor means by a T-score. Typically, they will check an HCG and maybe a progesterone. If those tests are negative, you are likely not pregnant

Thanks
The only T-score I know is associated with Bone density testing. Please discuss with your gyn what you were tested for and have them explain in detail. Sorry I cannot be of more help.
