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.

∙ 16y agoHome pregnancy tests measure the presence of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (or hCG.) This hormone is present in your body when the egg implants in your uterus, or about six days after fertilization of the egg. Spotting wouldn't cause the hormone levels to decrease or cease, so it shouldn't give you a false negative.

hi
What is false pregnancy symptoms?
Usually a false pregnancy means that you have taken a pregnancy test and it gives you a positive reading when you are not pregnancy (which is very rare) or a negative reading when you really are pregnant.

The reading will be negative
Can spotting change the accuracy of a pregnancy test?
Not if any blood got on the test prpduct. Only urine shuld be on the space designated to get an accurate reading.
How it is possible for some one to test negative on a simple urine test and positive on the standard test?
Pregnancy tests measure the level of hcg in your body. When you are pregnant, and as your pregnancy progresses, your hcg level rises. When you take a urine pregnancy test and it comes back negative, the level of hcg is not high enough to register on the test. When the quantitative serum pregnancy test is positive, it is a more acurate reading of how far along in your pregnancy you actually are.
How far along am i had a normal period in aug and dark spotting for two days in sept which should you go by to calculate your pregnancy?
From what I have been reading about implantation bleeding I would say that the dark spotting is that. I would say that you should estimate a week before the dark spotting and that is when you got pregnant.
Can reading something negative cause you to be negative?
Yes, it is possible. Hanging out with friends or people that have very negative attitudes can also cause you to be negative.
A pregnancy test result was negative then you started bleeding. Now you've taken two pregnancy tests reading positive. Did you have a miscarriage when you started bleeding?
This is difficult to answer. It depends on whether you performed one or more pregnancy tests. If you only took one test then its very possible this test was faulty but false positives are not as common as false negatives. If the bleeding arrived when your period was due and was exactly like a period then I would personally believe this was your period and is not caused by a miscarriage.
Are you pregnant if you had little to no bleeding and had a 1 positive pregnancy test and 2 negative pregnancy test?
It is rare that you will get a false positive. Make sure you are reading the directions correctly on the box for each pregnancy test you take. They need to be on a flat, dry surface and left alone until the time limit in the directions. If you had some bleeding/spotting this could be implantation bleeding which is common in your first symptoms of pregnancy. I only tested positive on a Clearblue pregnancy test. No other test would give me a positive. So it could also be the brand you are using. I wouldn't recommend dollar store pregnancy tests. Pregnancy tests aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.
How can you tell if a pregnancy test is positive or negative?
it will come up with a plus or minus symbol. or be reddish pink or blue. try reading the box..

This is an example of a transitional paragraph.
Can an expired pregnancy test give a false negative reading Even if it's only 1 year expired?
Yes it can. Any pregnancy test can give a false negative (not picking up on the presence of the hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin)) however they will not give a false positive (The hormone will only be there if you are pregnant) An expired pregnancy test will be even less accurate.
