Could a Home Pregnancy Test Be Wrong?

Hi Holly,
I have been told that pregnancy tests never give a false positive, I've never heard of a false negative. My doctor told me that sometimes the hcg levels are very light at first on some people. I would just go to your doctor and get a test done there, just to be sure.
Good Luck,
K. :~)

The tests can show negative up until 1 week after the first day of your missed period. I was actually just reading about this. So keep trying and stay on the medicine until your period has started and you're absolutely sure you're not pregnant.

Also, progesterone is what peeks in a woman's body during the first trimester and what causes all the wonderful side effects. Because you're taking it, very likely the symptoms you're having could be side effects from the meds and also good old PMS working its magic. This is more of an FYI for you though. Because you've passed your periods start date, you could also definitely be pregnant. I just wanted to let you know about progesterone.

I'll be thinking of you! Good luck!

It depends on the sensitivity of the test and how much hormones are in your urine. My home pregnancy test was negative the first 3 times and finally positive the 4th test 8 days after missing my period. If you think your pregnant, trust your gut feeling and see your doctor. If neccessary they can do a blood test.

How sure are you of your ovulation date? If you're not 100% I suspect you just had a long cycle and ovulated late. If you have no period 18 days after o, test again.
