I had exactly the same a couple of times. Once I had a period when I did it and (tmi) some blood was in it so they cant test. Another time they said it could have been something as simple as the edge of the cup touched my skin so bacteria on my skin (which is normal) got in the sample so they cant test. Best advice is to wee a bit first, then wee some more for the sample. Also give yourself a good wipe with wet tissue or something before. Even then its quite common for something to contaminate the sample. Xx
