pregnant took a digital pregnancy test and it was negative two of them?

Accepted Answer

Plan B ?'s: "Plan B" pills are essentially bcp's, but do not guarantee "100%" pregnancy protection.  If your home pregnancy tests were done at the time your period was due, and were negative, they may not be accurate.  Wait another week and obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy, which is accurate even with low levels of pregnancy hormone.

It depends: It depends upon how consistently you are taking your birth control pills and how soon after sex you took Plan B.

Tests are accurate: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications.

Emergency contraceptive pills can alter the menstrual cycle bleeding for the current cycle and sometimes the next cycle.

Accepted Answer

Take a test: Anyone having intercourse without birth control or condoms may get pregnant. Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period. Plan B and birth control does not interfere with a pregnancy test results
