Pregnancy Forum - Do Home Pregnancy Test Always Work?!

October 2 I had a normal period ...But the last two months I have not had a period at all. So that is 2 periods missing so far. I feel like I am pregnant (at least from what I have read since I have never been pregnant before) I have been tired, having some cravings, nauses, have even got sick a few times this week- and now I am out growing most of my clothes- mostly wearing sweat pants now.
Anyways- I have taken 5 home pregnancy tests and 4 came out negative and one said an error (last test I took)...Is it really possible to be pregnant and for the test to not detect it?
I was thinking about calling my family doctor to maybe get a blood test ran on me or something? Would a blood test detect pregnancy before a urine test?

It is definitely possible. My mom told me that she got negative tests with me and my sister til she was about 11 weeks with me and 13 with my sister. So it is definitely possible. And last year I got all negatives when I knew I was pregnant, but all the tests were saying no. So imo, it is very possible.

Yes, some women never pass .H.P.T--some even never pass blood test for .H.C.G, but much smaller percent.
