Hello i am really new to this (and feelin a bit silly to ask) but is there really anything such as a false negative? this sounds daft and paranoid, but i am three days late (i know i know, wow! but i am REGULAR AS CLOCKWORK!!) and did a test yesterday but it was negative. is there a glimmer?? All comments gratefully recieved! Thank you!

I had false negatives with DS2. I repeated the test every 2 or 3 days but I just KNEW I was pregnant, and after about a week I got a positive result.
Hope you get the answer you want

sometimes the hormone level isnt quite high enough to show up, i dont usually get positive results till im a few days late.

I had 2 false negatives - dd2 was 6 months last week!

Don't think you get false positives though.

Good luck.

I had a false negative with ds2. He is 11 now so it was a while ago but I remember it vividly! I did the test on the Wednesday (sad I know to remember the exact day) and it was neg. I was quite disappointed although I had only started thinking about another baby as ds1 was only 6 months old. I was convinced deep inside that the test was wrong but made myself wait a few days until the Sunday, done another test and it was postive, along came ds 2.
BTW I had only had one period as I was still B/fing ds 1 but I done the first test on the day that I was due - on the 28th day as I was usually regular.
