Please Clarify: Unfortunately you failed to tell us if the pregnancy test was positive or negative. If in doubt, the answer is to always repeat the test. If positive then it may be nice to get a blood test at the ob's office.

Pregnancy Test: If a home pregnancy test is done too early - it may not show as a positive even if pregnant. If a pregnancy test is set out with delayed reading it may appear positive or have an evaporation line. The test must be read at the time stated on the box.
