Over the counter pregnancy test are directly proportional to the pregnancy time of the person. If the pregnancy is in the early stages it is highly probable that the test will show a false negative, because the levels of hCG in the urine are still too low to be detected. In these cases is recommended two things: 1. Waiting for a couple of days to re-test, or 2. Go to your Physician so that blood test can be order for testing pregnancy.
