What do you do if pregnancy tests give different results?
Usually different results from pregnancy tests come from using the test too early. Taking the test too soon will cause a test to read a false negative. Some HPT are more sensitive than others, they will read positive sooner than a less sensitive test. False negative results are very common from using the test too early, false positive is almost unheard of unless the test kit was damaged somehow. Always check the kit before using it, including the expiration date and follow directions.
Can you be pregnant if you had a positive hpt 3 days after intercourse and then negative a week later aswell as a negative blood test?
The blood test are very very accurate. So you may of had a false hpt. If you only had sex the once you wont get a positive until about a week or more later. The blue dye hpt are the worse about giving false positives, but the blood test can even be used to date a pregnancy!

An expired pregnancy test is not very accurate - but can it give a false positive reading?
Certainly .. it can give a false negative reading, too. If past the recommended date for use, it should be discarded and a new kit bought. There is a very good reason why those expiration dates are put on items ... their shelf life is limited as the chemicals used for the measurement process do not last forever.

What if you took the pregnancy test 6 days after your missed period and it reads positive and you are having symptoms is there a possibility that it is incorrect?
It depends on the quality of the home test (some are more accurate than others, and some out-of-date pregnancy tests may fail) but more often than not, tests that are incorrect are incorrect by showing a false negative. Various things can contribute to false positives, but they are usually due to either medications (rare) or endocrine maladies. I'd take another, but via a blood test at the doctor's office. I think you're pregnant.
