Yes, you can! It's possible that you are miscalculating when your period is due and thus testing too early. Also, it takes time for your hormone levels to rise enough to be detected by the tests. If the sensitivity of the test you used is more than 20 international units of pregnancy hormone (hCG), you might have more accurate results by waiting to test until at least a week after your period is due. A "false negative" can especially crop up if implantation does not occur until later in your cycle. Read the 'Just Mommies' link below for a more detailed explanation of this. Good luck!

Can pregnancy test will positive 2 days before your last period?

A pregnancy test can test positive 2 days before you are supposed to have your period however, you will have a low amount of HCG (the hormone the test identifies) at that time and you still may be pregnant even with a negative est. It is best to wait a few days after your missed period and then test with the first urination of the day.

No, a period and a negative HPT (used at the appropriate time) indicates no pregnancy.


You took a pregnancy test and it came out positive you are also almost 2 months late on your period is this a phantom pregnancy?

If your pregnancy test is positive then most likely you are. You would be more likely to get a false negative rather than a false positive. If you are unsure, you can request a beta HCG test from your doctor. This will measure the HCG hormone in your blood system which is an indicator of pregnancy. The pregnancy test is positive and you haven't had a period in two months. I see nothing to indicate that this is a 'phantom' pregnancy other than maybe wishful thinking. I've been told that the home test kits may give a false negative, but that they never indicate a false positive.

One positive one negative result no period and pregnancy symptoms are you pregnant?

As I was once told, "a positive is a positive"The body produced a hormone called HCG only when pregnant.HCG is the hormone that is produced by the placenta during pregnancy. This hormone is what a pregnancy test detects. It stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. During a normal pregnancy, the HCG levels will steadily rise throughout pregnancy.
