Can a pregnancy test be a false negative?

False negative due to some kind of vaginal infection? I got an infection when I lost my baby at 3 months along and was wondering if that can cause my home pregnancy test to show up very week or negative. I have problems with my pregnancys showing up at all, with my baby it showed up negative for 3 months even blood tests, and now she is 2. My last pregnancy same thing, only they kept telling me I wasnt pregnant 5 ER visits later I went to a different hospital they do another ultra sound and see remnants, I found out I misscarried the baby. I wonder if there is something in my body that masks the hcg levels or keeps them low. Not sure. Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this before. Please advice me. I don't want to go to the doctor because even though I have every symptom they will say I'm not preggo when I know just like the last ones that I am.

    Why not go to the obstetrician you worked with in the past? They should know your history of low HCG levels and be able to help you.

    If you didn't work with one before, trying finding one that specializes in infertility because (although that isn't exactly your issue) they'll be able to help determine why your HCG levels stay low and if there's any risk to the pregnancy because of it.

    They will also be able to do a transvaginal ultrasound which (after 5 weeks pregnant) will show the fetus beginning to develop.
