A member asked:

Hello yes if u take a pregnancy test too early can u get negative result. should u retest later on to see.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Wait till you have missed a period by a couple of days before you check a pregnancy test. If you test to early there is not enough hormone to pick up. Also use a first morning urine as it is more concentrated.
