If the pregnancy test was positive and
then became negative it could indicate a
missed abortion.
A home pregnancy test can be also negative
in cases of extrauterine pregnancy when
smaller amounts of hCG are produced. You
need a BLOOD pregnancy test and ultrasound
scan to clear the situation. Another
possibility could be that the first
pregnancy test was false positive.
You should consult your gynecologist as
soon as possible.
