Can the 1st pregnancy test be wrong?

Specializes in Psychiatry

If you take it too: Early. If your HCG level is too low - it may not trip the test even though pregnant. If you think you might be pregnant you can take a regular home pregnancy test at the time you miss your period. If negative and still no period, repeat in a week.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
