False negative test?

Question

This has probably been asked on here a bunch of times, but Im going to ask again anyway... Has anyone had experiences with "false negative" pregnancy tests? Im five days late, and am going crazy wondering if Im pregnant or not, so I bought a test today, and it came out negative. I have the sore boobs, and a few other symptoms, but they could very easily be period symptoms too! When I was pregnant with my son, the tests that I took showed a very faint "positive", so Im wondering if the test I took today was wrong... Anyone ever have a negative result when you really were pregnant? I plan on waiting three days and taking another test if I dont start my period by then, and if I still get a negative Ill go to the doc, but until then, the wait is killing me!

Yup. I took a test a week after my missed period, and it said negative.
A week later, I was positive. =]

Yes there is such thing as false positives, I had 2 of them in February, I guess the HCG levels just aren't high enough yet, but they were positive on the day of my missed period
good luck, and you should try to get to the doctor

I may have, not sure yet. I finally got my positive today, but i think I'm almost 8 weeks. Good luck. You should go get a blood test. Lots of baby dust to everyone ttc.

Ive never had this happen, but  I knew someone who got negatives until they were 14 days late. Go to a doctor if your not sure!
