Menu Are you doubting the accuracy of your pregnancy test results? Home pregnancy tests are convenient and can quickly be administered, but there are a few variances that could give you an incorrect result.
What causes inaccurate pregnancy test results?
False positive and negative results (and faint lines) are not common, but they do happen. If you are unsure of your results, getting a laboratory-quality test is recommended. If it has been at least 30 days since the first day of your last period, you should consider a lab-quality pregnancy test from a health clinic. At Blue Ridge Women’s Center, our medical staff provide free pregnancy testing. Our lab-quality urine tests can detect pregnancy as early as 7-14 days after conception. Sources Pregnant?

How common are false negative pregnancy tests?Home pregnancy tests are usually accurate, but researchers estimate that up to 5% of tests give a false negative — meaning the test says you aren't pregnant when you actually are. There are a few reasons why you might get a false negative. You might be taking the test too early or after drinking too much water.
Is it possible to be pregnant and have a negative pregnancy test?Is it possible to be pregnant and get a negative pregnancy test result? Yes, it is possible. Getting a negative result doesn't mean you're not pregnant, it may just mean your hCG levels are not high enough for the test to detect the hormone in your urine.
