Can caffine cause a false negetive pregnancy test. I feel pregnant but I do drink coffee throughout the day. Every morning the urine test comes back negetive.

Evidence suggests that caffeine does not affect pregnancy tests but may affect your fertility.
The best test is ALWAYS one given by your doctor.
If you really think you are pregnant get a doctor to do a test in a lab. And maybe cut out caffeine if you are trying to get pregnant. It's not good for your bones and maybe not so great for your baby.

I really don't know how caffeine effects this. Ive never heard of that but, I do know what it feels like to be pregnant. Ive had 3. If you've been prego before in some ways you might know. But if you haven't then I'm not sure you really can say I feel pregnant because, its not something you can really know till you've gone through it. At least in my opinion. I mean I knew allot about it before I went through it but I couldn't have imagined all the physical and emotions things clearly in actuality. So with all that said, if you've taken a few tests and its you're first preg. I would feel pretty good about saying. No I don't think so. But really to rest you're mind, you should make an appt. at least to you're health dept. I do know of a few people who had false neg. But that was only in the very very very early testing. If you haven't missed you're period yet and you just feel like you are (Ive known a few of these people too) then most likely you are just paranoid or overly hopeful. Most first preg. don't know from feeling for at least the 2nd month it seems. I knew the first time I guess like 1st missed period but I think that was my mind not body. But of course if you're period is more then a few weeks late and the tests still show neg. you really should see you're gyno. There really could be sometime up w/ you. Not always really bad but still important enough to make sure.

I doubt it. The pregnancy test detects HPH Or Human Pregnancy Hormone (Or something like that) which is produced when a woman is pregnant and no other time in levels that are that high. Except in cases of chemical pregnancies, but that's another story entirely. So if the test says no, either somethings screwing up your hormones (Such as continuing to take birth control, or some other strange event.) or you're not pregnant. If you're in doubt see a doctor, they will be able to tell you for absolute certain. BUT, make sure the interns or whatever, don't have anything to do with it, they can be real bitchy sometimes and tell you you are if you're not and you're not if you are. So don't deal with them. Happened to my gf once.

No
Pregnancy tests rely on the hormones oestrogen and progestorone, neither of which can be affected by caffiene or any substance outside the woumb.
If you're periods do not show up, or are more than 3weeks late, go see you're GP.
He'll give you an accurate result.

no, caffiene won't counter-act the hormone it is looking for.
but if you are pregnant, or suspect you may be, drop the caffiene, it will speed up the bloodflow making it harder for the umbilical cord to absorb nurtients resulting in low birth weight and possibly learning disabilities and birth defects.
you sound despirate to become pregnant if you are taking a test every morning, if this is the case, drop your habits if you want to have a healthy baby and give your child a fair start in life.

Read the instructions. It will tell you what drugs/meds will alter the results. I heard once that if you are carrying a girl then the results do not show up as clear as when you carry a boy. I'm not sure if that's true. Wait a week and try again. Good luck! :)

Your doctor should give you a good pregnancy test. I don't think that coffee can make the test negative/positive.

nope that has nothing to do with it, the test just test your hcg levels, but if your trying to get pregnant have sex every other day, and stay in bed for about 30 min. with your hips elevated. trust me it works
