Has Anyone Ever...
...had a false negative with a First Response Early Pregnancy Test?? I am due for my period in 3 days and I took a test this morning and it was neg- we have been trying and I really thought I was preggers - I used first response with my last pregnancies and it was able to detect the hgc at 3 and 4 days before my period with a faint line after like 7 mins but this time no 2nd line at all. So, just wondering if anyone has had a similar situation w/first response and ended up pregnant after all. I was really hoping to be pregnant... :( Thanks in advance for your responses!! :)
So What Happened?™
Thank you for all of your responses. I ended up with a clearly positive test two days later followed by 2 negative tests and a full-on period this morning. I am fine with it b/c I guess it just wasn't meant to be, but the last two days definitely have been quite the emotional roller coaster!! :)

I would just take another test after you are late. I know what you are going thru, hoping that that test came out wrong. My husband and I have been trying again for the past 3months and so far no luck(I have a 13yr old, and a 1yr old--never had any problems conceiving before) so I know how frustrating it can be and how much you wish that test is wrong. All I can say is keep trying. It will happen when it's suppose too. Thats advice I need to take as well!!

the same thing happened to me. give it some time. you may be delayed, you may be pregnant. i learned that if you put stress in yourself, the more that it delays the process. rest your mind, get yourself occupied with something. if you are pregnant, then it will happen. i hope you are, and if you are, congrats in advance!

Yes, in fact, I had a false negative with a blood test. I took a blood test at my 90-day check up after I had my baby 8 months ago. I found out at my 5 month check up that I was 3 months pregnant...SO give it another week or so and take it again! Good luck!

Yes. I didn't get a positive result until the day after my period was supposed to arrive. Test again in 3-4 days and you may be pleasantly surprised. =)

I would just wait a few days and test again... I know that waiting is the hardest thing ever when your waiting for THAT news.. But I had 4 false negatives with my some before I had a positive one. So hang in there and I would wait 2 days and then test first thing in the morning..... they say the HCG is a little more concentrate at that time.
Good Luck!!

hello R.,
yes, it has happen to me. And you will see with the more responses you get that it has happen to someone here and there. Just like the other ladies had suggested, just wait the few days then try again. But you have to relax as well. When I was trying on my second one, I was stressing like crazy. And I did get a period and all that. But by the following month I got pregnant. By that time I juse relax had fun and just wait and see game (which can be just as frustrating as it can get). But when I did find out that I was pregnant, I went to get myself checked by a doctor. I found out that I was more than a month pregnant. When I asked the doctor how could that be when I was getting my periods. He asked me have I been stressing alot and I said of course. He told me that is one reason why my body was reacting the way it was. Kinda weird, huh? But turns out that most females have the same kind of respond as I have. So just relax and don't stress. Yea as easy as said but just try not to stress. Have fun and before you know it, you have a bundel in your oven!! good luck!

It must be really hard to wait until after your period is due, but to answer your question I have never had a false response yet. I have used MANY tests of varying brands including the one you tried. Alot of them come in two packs now. Perhaps you could try another test? Its unlikely you'd have two tests give you the same response if its false. Goodluck.
