I have taken an home pregnancy test one week ago and it came out positive. but the second negative what now?

Question

I took the first test four days before my missed menustration now I am late by four days I haven't taken any since but have symptoms.

Answer 1

I took several tests and got both negatives and positives. What gives? See FAQ 9 above; there are many variables-- concentration of urine, sensitivity of the test. Since true false positives are pretty rare, if you get at least one positive HPT, you are probably pregnant. Wait a couple of days and test again or try another brand if you are suspect. If you suspect you have a true false positive (meaning you did not conceive and still got a positive), please share with us so we can let other women know about that brand!
Can I still be pregnant if the test is negative (have a "false negative")? In a word, yes. You could be testing too early (before your baby is making enough pregnancy hormone to be detected by the test.) And some women (this is fairly rare, but possible) never get a positive urine test even when they're definitely pregnant (for some reason the hormone doesn't make it into their urine.) I have a friend who didn't get a positive HPT until 25 DPO! (With her second baby, a test at 23 DPO was negative . . . but a test on 30 DPO was positive. Oddly enough, with #3, her positive test came at only 12 DPO.) If you get a negative test but think you might be preggo anyway, wait a couple of days (giving the hCG hormone time to build up) and try again. It's not over until the fat lady sings-- and your period crashes the party.

If you are not monitoring your fertility in any way (OPK's, charting cervical mucus or basal temperature, ultrasounds) it becomes extra-tricky. There are two parts to every menstrual cycle: from the start of your period to ovulation, which can vary quite a bit in length, and from ovulation to your next period, which is usually consistent in length. (This second half is known as the "luteal phase," and the normal range is 10-16 days. It's normal for your typical luteal phase to vary by a day or two. For example, mine is normally 11 days, but 10 and 12 are not unheard of either. I have also had a couple of longer ones by total fluke.)

Because ovulation can happen at any time, it's possible your egg was delayed for some reason (stress, illness, travel, excitement.) This doesn't mean your period is actually "late" (it could arrive within the normal 10-16 days after ovulation), but rather than your entire cycle was delayed due to a later-than-usual ovulation.

Go and have a blood test done and good luck to you

Answer 2

Either take a 3rd test, or call the doc and tell them you have taken 2 tests with the first resulting positive, the second resulting negative but you are 4 days late.

They will probably have you come in and do a blood test to verify.

Or (depending on your age) if you are little worried about going to the doc just yet, you could go into a planned parenthood type place.

Answer 3

Take the test again... the test may not have come out positive the second time because of low HCG levels. Take it first thing in the morning. If it comes out negative again then have your doc take a blood test and/or do an ultrasound. When did you take the 2nd one? If you took it right after the first one then your hcg levels were probably just low.

Answer 4

Go to your doctor and have a blood test taken, I took a prgnancy test and it said negative and then an hour later said positive, and I went in and they took blood, it is more accurate sometimes if you do not have enough of the hormone in your urine in early pregnancy the urine test can give false answers

Answer 5

You should go to the health dept or dr. because it is almost impossible to have a false positive but you can have a false negative. Unless you are taking hormones or something then you are most likely pregnant

Answer 6

I always heard that home tests cannot give a false positive, but can give a false negative.

Answer 7

hello, you can go to a lab and to be more accurate make a blood test.
