Is there a specific condition for this? I've been doing reseach on this site and have seen several people that didn't test positive for blood or HPT until they were well into their second trimester. I'm a week late for starting my cycle and am never usually late. The last time I was late was two years ago when I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter. My HPT's were negative and then I took a blood test after being 4 days late and it was positive. This time I took another blood test at 4 days past my missed period an am negative. Could I still be pregnant? My hubby and I are not trying yet, but did have an incident on 3/30. My last period was 3/12/07 and I was due for another on 4/9/07. Still she's not here.

I just found out that I am actually pregnant. Appearantly I tested too soon after my missed period. Thanks for all of your help and answers!

In very rare cases, the hormone HCG does not make it into a pregnant womans urine until later into the pregnancy - or perhaps never. However, blood tests are very accurate. Perhaps you ovulated later than you thought and your period is not yet due (usually occurs around 14 days after ovulation) or perhaps you tested too early.
Good luck.

The tests are looking for the HCG hormone. If you get a negative when you are really pregnant, then the HCG levels were not high enough to be detected, that's all it means.

All it means is that the HCG level isn't high enough to be detected in your urine. It happens quite often in some women...try a urine test with first morning urine as it will have the highest concentrations of HCG.
