Negative HPT (false neg.) fairly common ? Posted: 11-04-07 21:35pm
How common is it for a woman to get a
negative result on an hpt and then find
out she is really pregnant?

Pretty common, it all just depends on how
early in pregnancy the woman begins
testing. It also depends on the type of
tests she uses. Tests that detect hcg
levels at 100 or over typically won't
detect pregnancy until a week or more
after a missed period in a pregnant woman
with hcg levels that double normally. It
really just all depends.
If you are a week late for your period and
have accurate determined your cycle
length, take a first response early result
pregnancy test (I'd suggest buying a pack
of two). If you get a negative, you have
a high chance of not being pregnant,
although some women's hcg level isn't high
enough yet, but that is uncommon. If you
still haven't gotten your period within a
week, take the other FRER home pregnancy
test. If you get a negative on that, then
you can pretty much bet that you are not
pregnant.

dont mind could you please explain what
happened, like how early you were testing
and if the test were negative how you
found out you were pregnant and how far
along where you when you found out? sorry

it. thanks
