A member asked:

Yes i took a pregnancy test this evening and got a negative is it accurate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Its not as accurate as a blood test. Blood test become positive at levels above 5 and urine tests between 15 and 25. So, very early you can have a false positive, so repeat it in a few days. Also, a small percentage of women have an antibody that prevents them from having positive urine testing ever.
