A member asked:
Can a pregnancy test be 100% trusted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Close but no: No test is 100% reliable; there are false positives and false negatives. For home pregnancy tests these are rare, but not zero. Furthermore the accuracy depends on when the test is done and if it is done according to the directions.
