When a human female is pregnant, she starts to generate a hormone called hCG (human choriogonadotropin). It is specific to a pregnant female as it is made in the placenta, and it is excreted in the urine. Most labs will run an hCG test on all urine samples as part of the standard urinalysis.

Can a lab urine pregnancy test be wrong?

The lab urine tests looks for the presence of HCG (a pregnancy hormone) in your urine. if you get a positive- the only way it's wrong is if you've taken HCG containing medications (for infertility treatments) or if you have a tumor that is producing HCG-very rare. if you get a negative- the test could be wrong if it was done too early after ovulation, you could be pregnant, but not producing enough HCG to show up in a test. ~pawsalmighty
