Yes, both false positives and negatives can happen at reliable clinics. Sometimes the reagents used for the test may be old, improperly stored or handled, causing the problem. On the other hand, home pregnancy tests are notoriously inaccurate. Anything is possible; however, they're usually always right. Sometimes home tests may not be able to detect the pregnancy hormone. If you are pregnant, congratulations, and be very happy!

How long should you wait for a pregnancy test with a doctor after getting a negative pregnancy home test?

When my cousin went to the doctor after having a positive home test, they didn't even run a test on her. They said that the home test don't give false positives, though they may not give a positive when you are pregnant. Earlier consultation with a doctor or medical professional will allow you to insure that you are taking the best care of the baby as possible.


I had 2 positive pregnancy tests and 1 negative and no signs of pregnancy on the ultrasound?

Interesting.. I've had the same thing happen to me (minus the ultrasound...) in getting several false positives. However, mine were due to having cysts on my ovaries- which are known for affecting the result of home pregnancy tests. If you're still uncertain, I'd try taking a blood test; it is possible that if you are indeed pregnant, the pregnancy is too young to be shown in an ultrasound.
