A negative test could also be the result of a phantom pregnancy. A phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking it is pregnant. You will still experience pregnancy symptoms but you are not actually pregnant; it is al psychological Some women have even been able to lactate during a phantom pregnacny. The causes of a phantom pregnancy are either paranoia of being pregnant or having an extreme desire to become pregnant. 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 To ensure the best results: Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.

u need to go to the doctor to get a pregnancy test because u could be or not be u don't want to wait till the last minute and u end up pregnant and go in to labor and have your baby all on the same day
A home pregnancy test detects a hormone that is only present for a short amount of time in a woman's urine after conception. If you have had a blood test, it tests for more than one hormone present during pregnancy, and is extremely accurate because of this. Additionally, if your urine is very dilute, it will lower the amount of hormones that will be detected by the test, causing a false negative. Also, pregnancy tests are not 100% accurate and can easily cause a false negative for many different reasons.

There is also always a chance that you might not be pregnant any longer. See your doctor for additional testing and evaluation if you are unsure of home test results.
It could have been an ectopic pregnancy (where the fertilized egg implants itself outside the uterus). A lot of times an ectopic pregnancies miscarry before very long at all. This can cause a womans pregnacny hormones (Hcg levels) to increase and show her to be pregnant when she took the test then if she miscarries the levels will be low again and show that she is not pregnant.

On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines, a recent pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy.
