A member asked:

If i take a pregnancy test the last day of the month and it comes out negative. is it accurate that i didn't get pregnant on the 12th of that month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, usually...: Because no test is perfect, if a woman thinks she might still be pregnant, she can repeat a urine pregnancy test 1 week later to confirm the first negative result. She should be sure to read the instructions and do the test correctly.
