What are the odds of a false negative uring pregnancy test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal: The pregnancy tests currently available are quite accurate. The earlier in the pregnancy that the test is done, the more likely to have a pregnancy hormone level too low to detect - but by the time of a missed period the false negatives would be less than 2%.
