Menu Are you doubting the accuracy of your pregnancy test results? Home pregnancy tests are convenient and can quickly be administered, but there are a few variances that could give you an incorrect result.
What causes inaccurate pregnancy test results?
False positive and negative results (and faint lines) are not common, but they do happen. If you are unsure of your results, getting a laboratory-quality test is recommended. If it has been at least 30 days since the first day of your last period, you should consider a lab-quality pregnancy test from a health clinic. At Blue Ridge Women’s Center, our medical staff provide free pregnancy testing. Our lab-quality urine tests can detect pregnancy as early as 7-14 days after conception. Sources Pregnant?

If you take a pregnancy test after your period is late and get a negative result, you're unlikely to be pregnant. Home pregnancy tests are very accurate — about 99 percent — but a false negative is still possible. Try taking another pregnancy test in a day or two to double check.
Can too much pee on a pregnancy test make it negative?Yes! Drinking too much water — or any liquid — can affect a pregnancy test. The hormone hCG is more concentrated in your urine first thing in the morning. If you haven't missed your period yet, your hCG level may not be high enough to be detected in more diluted urine.
Can you be 6 weeks pregnant and test negative?The hook effect incorrectly gives you a negative result on a pregnancy test. This can happen during early pregnancy or in rare cases — even into the third trimester, when it's pretty clear you're preggers. During pregnancy your body makes a hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG).
