False Negatives Are Very Common Posted: 01-27-06 12:48pm
I know in my experience that false
negative pregnancy tests do exist.
Myself, my daughter and my daughter in law
had to wait until 3 weeks past missed
period to finally get a positive on the
urine pregnancy test. It dont matter if
it says 4 days before missed period or
not, it still may be a false negative.
We know from experience. So if you still
have not got a positive up until 5 weeks
past ovulation or 7 weeks since last
period--do not give up hope. There are
also women known to never get a positive
on a pregnancy test. Not so common--but
it does happen. If still in doubt go to
the .Dr and get a blood test. If you
still have neg at 7 weeks past last
period--i would def go to .Dr in case it
is something else you are experiencing.
