There are several reason that a woman will show a false negative on a pregnancy test. The most common are trying to test too early and using diluted urine. It is important to follow all directions on the package, wait 14 to 16 days before testing, and to use the first urine of the day. Different brands and styles of home pregnancy tests also register different amounts of hormones so be aware of what type you are buying.

How many pregnancy tests should you take?

Home pregnancy tests are only 50% reliable if you are not pregnant, but almost 100% reliable if you are pregnant. In other words, they are not very reliable. (They are much more likely to tell you that you are pregnant if you are not than to tell you are not pregnant if you are.)It is better to see a doctor to have a blood test and ease your stress.actually, home pregnancy tests can be quite accurate if taken after your missed period. the above information is slightly off in terms of false results. actually, tests are more likely to tell you you're NOT pregnant when you ARE (false-negatives), rather than you ARE pregnant when you're not (false-positives). false-positive results are very rare, while false-negatives are more common (and usually caused by testing too early or with diluted urine). if you follow the instructions provided with the test kits, they ARE pretty reliable. though, i agree with the above answerer that doctor's results are always the MOST accurate.

Can you test positive on a pregnancy test and get your period than get a negative result on a pregnancy test?

Yes, unfortunately an estimated 50% of pregnancies are lost before they are ever even discovered. Your period is actually a very early miscarriage. This is called a chemical pregnancy. * It MAY be a sign of having had a chemical pregnancy. Spotting or even a period when you're first pregnant can be implantation bleeding. And false negatives can happen for all kinds of reasons. Bleeding during pregnancy accompanied by cramps/abdominal pain can be a bad sign, though, and you should call your doctor. But false negatives are way more common than false positives, and you should rely on a doctor's advice to be sure.
