A member asked:

I took two pregnancy the first was negative and the second was positive. which one do i believe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy Test: False negatives are often due to technique or dilution of the urine. False positives can happen if the test is not read in a timely manner. Given what is at stake, i would recommend confirming with a doctor's visit.
