Questions and answers

  1. Why can pregnancy tests show negative even if I'm pregnant?

    Pregnancy tests may show false negatives if taken too early, if urine is diluted, or if the tests are expired or faulty.

  2. How soon after a missed period should I take a pregnancy test for accurate results?

    It's best to wait at least a week after a missed period to take a pregnancy test, as hormone levels need time to rise for detection.
