Has anyone taken a pregnancy at night that came out negative and another one in the morning that came out positive?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc.

No. Home pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG, not byproducts of infection. Infections do not cause the hormones to be released. It is best to get the pregnancy confirmed by a doctor and have the UTI treated as soon as possible.

You can not become pregnant having sex while on your period. If you didn't have your period and you had sex and the urine test said negative, you most likely are not pregnant. If you still want to be sure, yes a blood test is more precise.

No not usually. Get to the hospital immediately. Definitely call your doctor and let them know what is going on.

How often does a false negative pregnancy test occur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think it depends on how early you are in pregnancy. I took 10tests which all were negative even though I knew I am pregnant before the HgC levels were high enough to indicate pregnancy via test. You can usually get an accurate reading about 1-2weeks pregnant with a good test such as Clearblue digital (I used this which indicated I was 1-2weeks pregnant) and I'm not 4weeks pregnant and registered with the midwife. Good luck!

Can you have a false negative pregnancy test throughout your whole pregnancy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. If you think you may be pregnant and your home test says different; trust your body. A doctor will do a blood test which will not only show right away; a 'quantitative' test can tell the level of hcG, telling about how long since you conceived. Which can be double checked with an ultrasound if necessary.

Is it possible for a pregnancy test to be negative if taken at night but still be pregnant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In very early pregnancy, yes. The reason it is recommended to take the test in the morning is because the hCG levels are more concentrated in the urine then, and can be more readily detected. So if it is in the first weeks of pregnancy, the level can go undetected.

Results are not considered accurate after that amount of time has elapsed. After 10 minutes it is said to disregard all results. If you still think you could be pregnant, then take another one in 3 days preferably with your first morning urine.
