A member asked:

What are the chances of a false negative pregnancy test i've been having a lot of symptoms took a test and it said negative ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible if early: A false negative pregnancy test is possible if the test was done too early or the test is beyond its expiration date. Wait for 3-5 days and do a repeat test using your first morning urine. If it is still negative, there is another cause for your symptoms. Hope this helps.
