Postive then negative test

Hi,

I got a 1-2 weeks on clear blue yesterday and the day before but this morning said not pregnant. What does this mean?

Thanks.

🙂 Is it possible to be pregnant and get a negative pregnancy test result?

Yes, it is possible. Getting a negative result doesn’t mean you’re not pregnant, it may just mean your hCG levels are not high enough for the test to detect the hormone in your urine. Even the most sensitive, ‘early detection’, pregnancy tests available can only detect pregnancy up to six days before your missed period (which is five days before you expect your period) and even then, these tests won’t be able to detect every pregnancy that early.

Also, if you’re testing very early, your test may only detect hCG in your urine in the morning when it’s most concentrated. This is also why it’s important not to drink too much water before using a home pregnancy test, as this can dilute your hCG levels as well.
