What are the odds that 3 pregnancy tests taken in the morning 1,3 and 5 days after a missed period could all be wrong?

The odds are pretty slim, but if you're concerned you can have blood taken to tell for sure.

It is more likely to get a false negative than a false positive. False negatives like what you are describing happen so commonly because women produce hcg at different rates. Some women do not produce enough hormone in the blood for it to synthesize or spill over into the urine by that time and sometimes it may take a week or longer to show a positive in some of the lesser sensitive tests. The best thing to do is test again in five days and if there is still a negative after being a week late, then go to the doctor and have a beta hcg blood test.

it's very possible.. I NEVER had a positive test the whole time I was pregnant with 2 of my children.. some women just don't come back positive on home tests.. but blood will always tell the truth.. Good Luck

well technicly if all the tests are accurate to 1%, then the odds that 3 will be inaccurate would be 1:1,000,000
100x100x100= 1,000,000
You don't sound happy about that.
