A member asked:
What to do if i'm accumulating pregnancy symptoms, and was wondering if at this far along it's possible to get a false negative from a urine pregnancy test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testing: One study found that nearly 1/4 of home pregnancy tests give a false negative. It also found that nearly 1/3 of users did not follow the directions properly. Finally, testing prior to nine days after missed period had more false negatives than testing more than nine days after.
