Getting a false negative pregnancy test is more common than many women think. Pregnancy tests can measure as little as 20 m/IU of hCG or as much as 150 m/IU of hCG. A big difference when you are testing within the first week of a missed period.

There are also some women that do not test positive with a urine pregnancy test until they are a couple months or more along. For some unknown reason the hCG does not enter their urine and a postive pregnancy test is only possible by have a blood test done.

I would recommend that you call your OB/GYN to have a blood test scheduled and also check out the sensitivity of different home pregnancy tests that are available to purchase in most grocery and discount stores.

Also remember, that just because you "normally" ovulate on day 14 of your cycle, little things that happen like an illness, stress, traveling, and more can delay ovulation. It is possible you didn't ovulate when you thought you did, and are not yet "late".

Good luck and I hope you get the result that you want!!

If you ovulated less than 16 days before the day you tested you can get a false negative. Of course most women do not track ovulation, and even if you do nothing is certain.

Even if you ovulate at the "textbook" time of 14 days before the start of your next period, then testing the day of your expected next period could be too early. If you ovulated a few days later than 5 days late can be too soon to test.

Its always possible to get a false negative. Definately make an appointment so you know for sure! Good luck!
it is possible that u can get a false nagative when ur week late. as the hpt tests are only 99.9% accurate. Make appointment with ur doctor and get a pregnancy test (blood) u should be able to get the test result within a week.
I have actually heard of some women not being able to get a positive until they were actually a few months pregnant. It depends on the amount of the hcg hormone that pregnancy test detect. I would suggest a blood test to know for sure.
I have heard of some women never having enough HCG in their system to show a + test. The only way to know for sure is to get a blood test. Are your cycles generally regular?
yes it is possible to get a false negative test the best thing for you to do is make an appointment right away so if you are pregnant you can start your prenatal care for yourself and your baby
Yes it is! Some woman ovulate later than what they expected, while others arnt producing enough of the harmone to be detected. Wait another week, and test agian. If still negative, head to the doctors for a blood test.
It's possible but not very likely. Usually by a week after your expected period there should be enough HCG to be detected by the test... however, having said that, false negatives are more likely than false positives... so if you want to make sure I would advise you go to your doctors office to have a blood test done just to be certain. Best wishes!
