Here's the things, if you take the test 5 days before your period and the test says positive, it is probably accurate. But if it says negative, that doesn't really mean you aren't pregnant. This is because it takes time for those hCG levels to accumulate and to be enough for a home pregnancy test to detect.
Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include missed period, tender/swollen breasts, change in color of the breasts, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, increased sense of smell, and weight gain.
There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc
To ensure the best results:
- Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest
- Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results
- Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low.
- urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip
- Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.
.
On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines, a recent pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy.
