A member asked:

My period is 2 weeks late than the expected date. i have irregular periods so my cycle fluctuates each month. i drank half of a medium cup of coffee before taking my pregnancy test and the results came back negative. will this affect my results?

Tests are accurate: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, coffee, 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.
