You could have taken the test too soon or you could have take the test improperly. You are more likely to encounter a false negative rather than a false positive though.
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 for a home pregnancy test:
· 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. OR 14 days after intercourse (sex). 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.
What else can I help you with?
Why would a home pregnancy test show up negative and a day later show up positive?
On the box it will tell you at how many days it will detect pregnancy. You were probably right at the line on the first day, and the second your body had produced enough of the hormones to show up positive on a titer test.
Do a pregnancy test first and its saying positive and the others are saying negative?
If it doesn't give you a positive answer the best would be going to the doctor and get tested there.
If you get a negative does that mean you are not pregnant?
negative= not pregnant positive= pregnant be sure to read the instructions on the pregnancy test package
Clear blue pregnancy test negative but super drug was positive?
Superdrug is a more sensitive test (10miu) meaning it can detect lower levels of hormones (early pregnancy). Clearblue is more like 25miu, meaning you would have to have higher hormone levels (later pregnancy) before it picked it up.
When subtracting a negative and a positive your answer would be a positive?
If you are subtracting the negative from the positive, the answer will be positive. If you are subtracting the positive from the negative, the answer will be negative.
When you multiply a positive number by a negative by a negative one what is the sign of the answer?
A negative times a positive is a negative and that negative times a negative would = a positive. So the answer would be a positive number. *<:)
If a is a negative number what would -a be?
If a i positive, -a is negative; if a is negative, -a is positive.
Would a positive multiplied by a negative be a positive?
No. A positive times a negative is always negative. A negative times a negative is always a positive.
What would be the answer to positive 3 times negative 4?
A positive times a negative is negative, so positive 3 times negative 4 would be negative 12.
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.
How do you challenge the lab results in false positive?
I would look at your hcg levels from the report. An hCG level of less than 5mIU/ml is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25mIU/ml is considered positive for pregnancy. out of curiosity, why would you challenge? Are you certain you are not pregnant?
Is a negative a positive is what?
A Negative plus a positive = a negative because negative and a positive cannot work together Negative + Negative= Positive Positive + Positive = Positive when your dealing with numbers such as : -2 + 2 would equal a negative 4 -2 +-2 would equal a positive 4
