If it's before a missed period and you're testing to see if you're pregnant then, yes, you could be pregnant and not know it yet. Home pregnancy tests are very effective, even the cheap ones.

yes, sometimes women dont really have a high level of the hormone that the home tests test for. going to see a doctor should give you 100% accurate results.

yes sometimes a test might say you aren't pregnant or vice versa...in might say you are and the only way to know for sure is going to the doctor

Yes. There can be false negatives when using a home pregnancy test ( test says false even if you're pregnant) but there can not be false positives, ( meaning that if it says you're pregnant you are pregnant).

If you think you may be pregnant but the home test isn't coming up so, go to your doctor and they'll send you for a blood and urine test, which will be screened at the hospital.

Where I live you get the results next day, this doesn't take long!

WHen i found out i was pregnant with my son....about 2 years ago...i did get a false negative on a home pregnancy test. It could be the test that you used because I tried the First Responce early pregnancy test...twice...and both came up negative....then i took one Clear Blue easy Digital test and within thirty seconds it came back positive....i would try the clear blue test before calling the doctor...or you could find a free clinic near you and get a free pregnancy test there.

None of my hpt's came out positive until like 7 days after my missed period, I took a First Responce Gold one & it came back positive after 7 days.. then I went to the doctors about a week later for a test so they can give me a piece of paper & even their test had a very faint line still.. Everyones different.

i think it can be related to how diluted your urine is sometimes. if you drink a lot of fluids your hormone levels won't be as detectable. that's why they recommend morning pee because it has been longer than 4 hours since the last pee, usually. i know a lot of women who didn't get positive hpt until a week or more late.
