Hmm, that's strange. They are usually more likely to be positive with urine first thing in the morning. You could wait a week and try again, or ask you doctor for a serum bHCG test (blood pregnancy test) which detects pregnancy earlier.
Depending on how late you were for your period, I would repeat the test first thing in the morning. Make sure you follow the package instructions exactly, especially if it says check at 2 minutes or whatever as the test strips may not have been stored properly or, if not read too late correct time, they may give a false positive. If read early, they may give a false negative.
Home Pregnancy Tests
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
Taking the test very early in your pregnancy. HCG may not be found. In this case, the test kit may show that you are not pregnant when you really are pregnant. This is called a false-negative result. If you have drunk a lot of fluid, your urine may be diluted and this may also cause a false-negative result.
Having soap in the urine collection cup. This may cause the test results to show that you are pregnant when you are not pregnant. This is called a false-positive result. False-positive results may also be caused by reading the test at the wrong time, letting the test equipment get warm, having protein or blood in the urine, or having hCG hormone in the urine from some other cause.
Taking certain medicines, such as chlorpromazine hydrochloride (Largactil) and methadone hydrochloride (Metadol).
Taking fertility medicines that contain human chorionic gonadotropin, such as Profasi or Pregnyl.
Not reading the result at the right time as shown on the instructions. If you read the result too early or too late, the colour change may not be accurate and you will need to retest.
The accuracy of home pregnancy tests are different for every woman because:
The days of a woman's menstrual cycle and ovulation can change each month.
The exact day of implantation of the fertilized egg is not always known.
Each home pregnancy test kit has a different sensitivity to find hCG. If the level is very low, the first urine of the morning is the most likely to show a positive result.
While a few home pregnancy tests may be sensitive enough to show a pregnancy on the first day of a woman's missed period, most test kits are more accurate about a week after a missed period.
There are no problems with collecting a urine sample for a home pregnancy test. However, there may be a chance that you read the results wrong. With any home pregnancy test, if the test shows you are pregnant (positive test), you should see your health professional to confirm the test and arrange follow-up care. If the test does not show you are pregnant (negative test), it is still possible that you may actually be pregnant. You should repeat the test in one week if your menstrual period has not started. If the repeat test is negative, probably you are not pregnant, but you should talk to your health professional about why you are not having periods.
If you have missed a menstrual period and have lower abdominal pain, call your health professional immediately even if the pregnancy test is negative. You may have an ectopic (or tubal) pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg attaches somewhere other than in the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy could burst a fallopian tube and lead to serious medical problems.
You should also check to see if you have any other Early signs of pregnancy
Your first sign of pregnancy may be a missed menstrual period. Other early signs of pregnancy, caused by hormonal changes, include:
Fatigue.
Breast tenderness.
Increased urination.
Fullness or mild aching in your lower abdomen.
Nausea with or without vomiting, also known as morning sickness.
First-trimester bleeding
If you experience vaginal bleeding at any time during pregnancy, report it to your health professional immediately. Vaginal bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage or premature labour during a pregnancy but sometimes it is not, particularly in the first trimester.
During the first trimester of pregnancy:
Up to 25% of pregnant women experience spotting to heavier vaginal bleeding. Of these women, about 50% do not miscarry.1 Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is more common in women who have previously been pregnant than in women who are pregnant for the first time.
Very early spotting is sometimes the result of the fertilized egg implanting in the uterus. Implantation takes place 6 to 10 days after the sperm fertilizes the egg.
Bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage. Early bleeding during the first 6 weeks or so can be an early miscarriage called a blighted ovum. Although a gestational sac has developed, the fertilized egg has not developed into an embryo. This is usually caused by a chromosomal error in the early stages of cell formation. On an ultrasound, a blighted ovum is likely to look like an empty sac attached to the uterine wall.
