A member asked:

What are the chances of a negative blood test in early pregnancy?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Very low: It depends on how "early" you are referring to, but generally, the blood test for pregnancy is very accurate with a very low false negative rate.

Can be false 17 days: A serum pregnancy test can be falsely negative up to 17 days after intercourse. Because urine pregnancy tests are less sensitive, it could take up to 3 weeks before turning positive after insemination.
