Is it possible for an ultrasound to NOT by some weird chance to not pick a pregnancy up?

 HappyBunny:
First of all, anything is possible. To answer your question more precisely, however, I need a little more information:
1) pregnancy test positive?
2) suspected multiple gestation (more than one fetus)?
3) how long since conception occurred?

This sounds like a most unusual situation. If you doubt the physician's diagnosis, you should certainly go see another for a second opinion.
There are other possible explanations for your symptoms, but I think this situation is too complicated to hash out here in the forum.
My best to you.

 A pregnancy that is far enough along to begin to cause increasing abdominal size would be nearly impossible to miss with ultrasound. A competent ultrasonographer would easily pick it up. This coupled with a negative pregnancy test makes pregnancy very unlikely. A serum pregnancy test would be better than a urine pregnancy test that you buy at the store.
I would suggest that you talk with your primary doctor to get this evaluated. You may need a different imaging test such as a CT scan.
Keep us updated.

I agree with Dr. Lowe on this one.
Looking at the picture, I don't see how a fetus of that age could possibly be missed on ultrasound.
Do keep us informed.

 HappyBunny,
I am in agreeance with Dr. Eisele, and Dr. Lowe.
T even begin to try and evaluate your symptoms and your obviouse swelling, it will be necessary to answer the questions
Dr. Eisele as expressed
1) pregnancy test positive?
2) suspected multiple gestation (more than one fetus)?
3) how long since conception occurred?
Some other answers may be helpful as wee?
1. Any previouse pregnacies or live births
2. your age
3. Any contraceptive used within last 12 months
4. Any family history of ovarian problems or endometriosis
