An early results test (such as First Response) detects lower levels of HCG so it may show positive before other home tests will. It is not abnormal to not get a positive until a week or so after a missed period. A doctor's blood test might be able to tell sooner since they are more accurate anyway so you can always get one of those. Plus, if you are not pregnant the dr can tell you what is going on that is keeping your period away. Also, false positives are rare (test says positive but not really pregnant) whereas false negatives (test says negative but are actually pregnant) are somewhat more common. Some women say they never get a positive on a home test but these cases aren't very common. Best Wishes!

being pregnant tests themselves are very stable, besides the undeniable fact that human timing isn't. usually in case you get carry of a favorable on a try, it potential you're pregnant. fake positives are very uncommon. That being suggested, you will discover a damaging on a try to nevertheless actual be pregnant. some women human beings basically attempt to early (first day of a ignored era is meant to be precise for many females human beings) and the HCG isn't solid adequate for the attempt to %. up yet. some women human beings for some reason do basically no longer see a favorable on an HPT even however they're pregnant. So specific, they're precise offering they're used precise and in the proper timeframe.

It's possible to have a false negative but rare to have a false positive. I would wait until the end of the week and do it again. If it's still negative and you still do not start, then see your doc and have blood taken.

If is positive you are for sure pregnant, but if is negative it could be a false negative, so I would give it couple of days ant try again.

Give it another week. You body has to produce enough hormones for the test to show a positive.
