Is it possible to have a false negative hpt>?

I took a test today and it was a Negative! but it was also kind of fuzzy. i always hear about unclear hpt's so is it really possible to have a false negative?im supposed to welcome AF in 7 days. may i have taken the test to early?Is it possible to have a false negative hpt%26gt;?
Honestly all you can do now is wait until your missed period, for that's a true first sign of a possible pregnancy. When/if you miss your period, take a home pregnancy test. Try First Response or EPT. If negative and symptoms continue test every 2 days, for your hCG hormone doubles every 48 hours and it still may be too low to be detected. If you still get negative after a week late on your period go to your doctor / local health department for a blood test. Some women are known to test negative on urine test but positive on blood.





Good luck and I hope things turn out the way you want them to.Is it possible to have a false negative hpt%26gt;?
Yes, you can have false negatives if you test too early. I never got a positive until more than 5 weeks after my last period at that point in time (not sure how many DPO it was).
Yes, happens all the time! But no such thing as a false positive:) Test again on the day of your missed period(if you miss it) and see what happens! *~*~*~*BABY DUST*~*~*~*
False negatives do happen if your Hcg levels aren't high enough for a hpt to pick up yet. Some hpt's pick up an Hcg level of 25, some 50, and some not until it reaches 100. A blood test will give you an exact Hcg number. Last month my Hcg was 8 so a hpt wouldn't have picked it up but technically I was pregant. I lost it a few days later which is common with really low Hcg levels (meaning they sometimes don't implant in the uterus), but the only way for you to know for sure if you're pregnant or not is to either get a blood test (anything above a 5 means you're pregnant) or retest in a few days. When you're pregnant, your Hcg level doubles every 48 hours so in a few days you can know for sure. Good luck :)
You may have taken it too early, but I've never gotten a false negative personally - Even when I did test too early.





Do try again in a week or so, though.





Good luck.
When it says negative it's usually right. Try again in a week or so.
A false neg is unlikely. Sorry. I have never gotten one, although I had wished a few times it was a false neg. Good luck
I would say you took it way too early. When I got preg. with my 3rd baby, I took the test 3 days before my period was due and it was negative but 1 day before it was positive. take another one in a week or two
