can a pregnacy blood test give a false negative result?

Question

I have symptoms of pregnancy but I get negative results

Answer 1

False negative results are not completely impossible, although the blood test is considered 97%-99% accurate. When there are false negative results, it is because the test was done too early, before enough hCG was detectable. If a repeat test still shows a negative result, I would say that you are not pregnant and you need to look for another explanation for your symptoms.

Answer 2

I wouldn't think so, anything below 8 is negative, above 8 is positive and in normal pregnancie the figures at least double over a 2 day period, so you wouldn't keep having negative blood tests if you really were pregnant due to this doubling.

There is such thing as a phantom pregnancy. Whereby you have all the symptoms and there is no baby.

Answer 3

I guess it could if the test was done wrong
If the test was done correctly more than likely no but there are ways to fool any test

pregnacy test go by the hormones levels in the blood and I have known where the test can be fooled by taking large amounts of birth control pills but that was a pee test I dont know that much about a blood test, but it could happen

Answer 4

yes, the test is looking for elevated levels of a chemical in your urine. Maybe your levels aren't that high or maybe the test strip wasn't sufficiently soaked in urine. You should get a medical professional to administer the test to be sure. Planned Parenthood will do it for free in most cases.

Answer 5

if you took a pregancy test at home and you took a test at the hospital and you ARENT pregnant then it could be something... try testing again with FIRST RESPONSE (5 days before ur missed period or sumthin like dat!!)

Answer 6

Its likely but is usually accurate. How long ago was your last cycle?

Answer 7

its too early for it to pick up the hormone
