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. It is also possible if you have experienced a chemical pregnancy (meaning you lost the "baby" before it even implanted into the uterus). 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.

Can you explain the accuracy of a pregnancy test and how to interpret the results, especially when it comes to the crucial c and t indicators"?

Pregnancy tests are generally accurate when used correctly, with most brands claiming over 99 accuracy. To interpret the results, a positive result typically indicates pregnancy, while a negative result means no pregnancy. The "C" line (control line) confirms the test is working properly, and the "T" line (test line) appears if pregnant. It's important to follow the instructions carefully and consult a healthcare provider for confirmation.
