If you took a home pregnancy test 5 days before your missed period and it was negative could you still be pregnant?

Answer 1

It is possible. Take a test with the first urine of the day as this has the most hormone, and wait until your period is 2 weeks late.

If still negative and you are convinced you are pregnant, go to the doctor.

Yes, I was 9 1/2 weeks pregnant before mine showed up and the doctor did several pregnancy tests on me. He thought I had endometriosis!

I was almost 10 weeks pregnant and 4 of my home tests came up unclear, so if your tests come up positive one time then negative or unclear the next, my best advice would be to go to the doctor and ask for a blood test because those are far more accurate than Urinary Analysis's.

Answer 2

It is possible that you may be pregnant, but just took the test too soon. Most over-the-counter preggo tests need to for you to be least a week past your missed period to sense the pregnancy hormones. Wait a few more days then test again. Best yet, go to a doctor.

Answer 3

A negative test could also be the result of a phantom pregnancy. A phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking it is pregnant. You will still experience pregnancy symptoms but you are not actually pregnant; it is al psychological Some women have even been able to lactate during a phantom pregnacny. The causes of a phantom pregnancy are either paranoia of being pregnant or having an extreme desire to become pregnant. 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: 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.

Answer 4

You absolutely could still be pregnant. Every woman produces HCG (the pregnancy hormone) at different rates, and only a certain percentage of women will test positive that early. Re-test in a few days.

Answer 5

Depends on what kind of test you took and when you took them.

Answer 6

yes, you coul be pregnant because home PT are not as accurate as blood test.

Answer 7
