Is it possible to get a false negative hpt? I took a test on 8-14 (first thing in the morning) and it came back positive. The line was faint but it was there. So this morning I decided to take another one just to see if the line would be any darker. The test came back negative. I am not sure what that means. Any helpful insight would be appreciated. Maybe it will keep me sane until I can get in to the Dr. Thanks! Confused

Hpt's are not always 100%. The best way to find out is to do a blood test.
Good luck!

I have a friend who took several hpts and they all came up negative. She also had a pelvic and had tests done at the clinic. They all came up negative for the first three months of her pregnancy. Patty is right, if you want to know get a blood test.

Thanks, I just went to the doctor and they did a urine test, and she said if I don't start in another week, that he will have a blood test done. I am really hoping for another one so please send some baby vibes my way! Thanks!

I am going through the same thing. I had the first test I took have a solid line and one faint line and then he told me to take another one first thing in the morning so I did and it was negative? So I have to go back and have another one done in a week or so. He said I might have a eptopic pregnancy?I have not had my period since june 18th. I hope not because I really want another baby. Ill send you baby vibes if you send some my way too. Good luck.

False positives are very slim, most likely you are preg! Good luck!

False positives are not very slim they just don't happen, its not possible to test for something and get a positive for something that just isn't there does that make sense?!?!?

I swear i'm pregnant and i've only had one positive. We just got our insurance papers today so soon I will see a docter. Anyways, i've taken more test than I can count and out of all of them only one was positive. However, my stomach has grown a little this week. I don't know exactly how far along I am, but I think only 9 weeks. However, I got symptoms really early. My stomach and boobs have both grown. In fact someone told me that i'm already looking pregnant and I haven't had more than one positive test result. This might sound stupid, but when I jump around with my kindergartners my stomach feels a lot heavier. It's not comfortable at all to do any kind of jumping or anything. I could be 12 weeks if I go by symptoms, but I doubt it. Anyways so to answer your question I think false negatives are way more commen than false positives. I'll find out for sure pretty soon so I let you know.

This may sound weird but like my husbands mom (not that shes getting pregnant or anything) could when she did only go to the doctors for preggo tests. I guess theres like a certain percentage of woman who like have something in their systems that like make hpt test mess up or always positive she was joking around with me saying she'd be postive like when she was 90 haha

Yeah the same thing happened to me.. Except, the first test came out neg and the next pos.. I went to the doctors and they did a urine test which revealed negative.. After 2 weeks, I was still late so my boyfriend took me to one of those free health clinics to get testing done.. They did a urine test, which came back negative.. So the nurse did some kind of different urine test, I guess is more sensitive.. And it came out positive.. Some girls just dont have enough of that hormone to show up on a test. Thats what the problem was in my case.. I guess the preg hormone fluctuates
