The first result would be more reliable as the other tests cannot always pick up very low levels of the hcg secreted by the baby. That is assuming you had none of the conditions that produce false positives, and these are always listed in the instructions.

-Thanks! just tested again, and got another positive, so its off to the doctor next.

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 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. To ensure the best results: * 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. 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. According to the ClearBlue pregnancy test accuracy results they are: 4 days before expected period= 51% accurate

3 days before expected period= 82% accurate

2 days before expected period= 90% accurate

1 day before expected period =95% accurate

the day of expected period =99% accurate

Could you be 12 weeks pregnant still have regular light bleeds feel baby moving and pregnancy test still show a negative result?

It is unlikely to be 12 weeks pregnant and have regular light bleeding while simultaneously experiencing fetal movement and receiving negative pregnancy tests. Typically, a positive pregnancy test indicates the presence of the hormone hCG, which should be detectable by that time. Light bleeding can occur in some cases, but it usually does not accompany fetal movement. If someone experiences these symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.

Can you be pregnant even if the test was negative and yet no menstruation after 9 days of expected period?

It isn't very likely, but I guess it's possible. You are probably just late for your period though. I was a week late two months in a row and I am normally a very regular person with my periods. It just happens sometimes. It is very possible. I myself can NEVER show up on home pregnancy test. I always go into the doc. and my urine test will be negative yet my blood test would be positive. So, yes, it is very possible. Yes its very possible. With my first child I was pregnant a month and the three test I took after my missed period came out negative it wasnt till I was a month and a half that the test came out postive.

Had it neg you have normal periods but you feel it move and your belly is getting big?

I think you are trying to ask if anyone has ever had regular periods and negative pregnancy tests while being pregnant? I am 25ish weeks into my 3d pregnancy. I didn't get a positive test result until about a month ago and I had regular periods the first trimester. This is normal for me as it happened with both of my boys too. Also with the "I didn't know I was pregnant" TV show with many other women saying the same thing happened with them, that while it is not the norm, it does happen.
