As soon as you miss the first period a pregnancy test should show positive if you are in fact pregnant.

A blood test can usually pick it up but you may have to wait until your second missed period to get a more accurate hpt.

How could you get a false pregnancy?

A positive pregnancy test is simply a rise in hormones secreted in urine or blood. False positive pregnancy tests are rare but can be caused by adrenal tumors, or possibly certain medications.

A false pregnancy test when a woman is actually pregnant means she isn't secreting the hormones in her urine yet, or they are high enough to be picked up by the test she uses. Blood test for pregnancy is more accurate.

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

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.

I had a miscarriage at about 5 weeks took two blood tests that confirmed it was a miscarriage but after about 4 weeks I took 2 pg testS and came out positive does this mean I am pregnant again?

I had one last month and think I may be pregnant again also. However, I did ready today that our HCG amount may not go down for 4-6 weeks after a miscarriage ( so that could cause a positive result). So I think you should go to your doctor for a blood test. But good luck to you. It certainly sounds like it. You can getpregnant two weeks after a miscarriage. Good Luck.
