What should I do about a potential "False Negative" Pregnancy Test?

Question - (30 March 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 March 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I am NOT using birth control pills, just condoms. I have regular periods but am now 7 weeks late. My breasts are very tender and the areola has become darkened and slightly larger. I do not feel sick at all but I decided to take a pregnancy test today.

I purchased the MOST expensive one hoping that it would come out accurate. It said "-NO". I have heard of "false negative's", but I'm just concerned and am a little confused? What should I do?

eyeswideopen agony auntI know there are some women who have to have the blood (rabbit) test in order to determine pregnancy. I'd check with my doctor at this point.

DeserveMore agony auntI had a false negative test with my first pregnancy... It lead to me having a miscarriage, since I thought I wasn't, so I kept exerting myself physically.

You need to retest. buy a test that comes in a pack of two... no need to get the most expensive, they are pretty much all the same as long as followed properly. I would definitely go for the pack of two that costs the same as one expensive test.

Make sure that you wait to test until the morning- your first pee-- especially if you only buy one more test.

Honey, you are pregnant.
