A member asked:

I took a pregnancy test this week and it came back negative. i've had lots of stress and i was sick recently and lost weight. could that affect it too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doesn't affect test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.
