Sometimes a pregnancy test can fail, and some are known to give false readings during times of menstruation, where hormones are present.

Take another test, and see if the results differ. If not, you can always consult your doctor, who can do a proper test for you. This can either be a simple urine analysis, or a blood test.

Yes. I know a woman who had had a total hysterectomy. The next month she took a home pregnancy test, knowing that she hadn't had sex in more than a year before her surgery. Home pregnancy tests done with a urine sample cannot be as exact as tests done using a blood sample.

It depends on the blood if it was a heavy long period then you probably arent, but if it was a light brown/pinkish blood then it might be implantation blood meaning you are pregnant

The positive was done wrong, or the 4 negatives were done wrong. if you get one positive it means you are more than likely pregnant. You are more likely to get a false negative than a false positive.
