It does have a history of false negatives.
However, it is what I used and I wasn't 100% convinced so I tried one in just tap water - fortunately that came up negative Rolling Eyes
and I also took one clear blue easy which was psoitive.
Wait a few days, if you still don't get your period, test again, if it is still negative and you still don't get your period, maybe make an appt with your doctor, just to make sure nothing else is amiss
good luck, hope you get what you wish for.

I took one two weeks ago...Negative...Just took one today, negative, but I am 30 years old and I just feel like I am pregnant...The doctors said the test are very accurate but if i'm not pregnant this is some serious psychosomatic symptoms i'm having...Sick to my stomach on and off all day, dizzy, exhausted, starving, and nothing makes me feel better...Getting frustrated 'cause i've never flet like this before...Have 1 more test and will take it tomorrow...

Ya know the other day I was reading this website that was talking about pregnancy test and they said that in 2003 they did a study on them because they wanted to see how reliable they were. They found out that first response was the only test that was consitantly correct with cacthing the hormone hcg, but that people had gotten a positive and then a negative and they found out that it was cacthing the hormones right before the people misccaried. They said that ever since this test came out people are starting to realize how commen miscarrages are.
