Have any women got a negative result on an at home pregnancy test and found out they were out pregnant?

Question

My fiance is about a week late with her period and has taken 5 tests that all came up negative. She had some spotting like four days before her period was due but it was only during one bathroom trip. We are going to wait a few more days and then use another test to see what it reads.

Answer 1

It might have been too early and she might have had implantation bleeding. I had one at what I thought was when I would have missed my period (i never had a period after my miscarriage in dec.) and that one was negative. I waited a week and took one and it was very positive (turned positive right away). SO just wait and try again.

Answer 2

i was 6 weeks pregnant when i took the at home test and mine was + but it was VERY VERY light so i would asume if you are less than 6 weeks it might be even lighter and may even give you a negitive try waiting about a week, i know i know a week is a long time when your waiting on that but it will give the hormones a chance to increase and you should be able to get a good result by that time, if nothing else she can go get a blood test at the dr. 100% The spoting could just be her period or it could be implatation bleeding so i would wait a good week after her period is due! good luck on everything

Answer 3

Hey,
I had the exact same thing!
I went to the doctors for a blood test came back positive but turned out I had an ectopic pregnancy...
I'd sugest waiting probably another 2-4days because the pregnancy hormone HCG doubles roughly every 2 day or so...
If it's still negative perhaps take a trip to the doctor and get a blood test done!
There are more accurate and more sensitive to the HCG hormone!

Answer 4

Wow five test in a week she must really want to be pregnant, lol.

But I was pregnant and it said I was not so you never know. You actually have to wait longer then she is though to see it. Also, if a woman is stressed her period will not come also. So she needs to relax and forget about it. Wait another week she will prob get it if not then take a test. Bc now she is doing NOTHING but stressed herself and you out and wasting a lot of $$ on test.

Answer 5

That's a lot of home pregnancy tests! I think I'd opt to have one done at a clinic or doctor's office to know for sure. Sometimes the home pregnancy tests aren't as sensitive as the ones done in a doc's office are. Her hcG levels might not be high enough to be detected by a home test, but a doc's test might pick them up. Go see the doc, the peace of mind alone would be worth the office visit.

Answer 6

When i was pregnant with my son every home pregnancy test plus doctors tests came up negative until i was over the 9th week mark , but with my daughter the tests were positive straight away i guess every pregnancy is diffrent , good luck x

Answer 7

go to the doctor sometimes in some women the HCG hormone isnt strong enough or something like that and doesnt show up on the stick test she might need a blood test or ultrasound to know for sure Good luck.
