Is it possible to be positive on a ovulation test and a week later get a positive pregnancy test?

After your ovulation takes place, you'll need to wait at least 10 days to take a pregnancy test and, hopefully, get positive results. Good luck!

What if your period is five days late but the test is negative?

It may be an ectopic pregnancy

If you take a pregnancy test and it came out negative but took one again three days later and came out positive. could this mean im pregnant.?

Under laboratory conditions, home pregnancy tests are 99% accurate. There could be several reasons for a negative reading for one test while there is a positive reading for another test a few days later: 1) Sensitive home pregnancy tests can detect pregnancy 7-14 days after ovulation. It may be possible that the first test you took was too early to detect the hormone hCG (the hormone produced from a pregnancy). 2) The first test may have been taken incorrectly, such as not had enough urine to read correctly. For example, drinking high volumes of water can diminish test accuracy. First morning urine is considered the ideal time to take the test because it contains the most concentrated presence of the hormone hCG, or waiting several hours after last urinating. 3) This is least likely of the possibilities, but a false positive result. These are very rare. Sometimes the tissues in a non-pregnancy woman can produce hCG, but they are usually so low that a home pregnancy test can not detect them. The best way to know for sure if you are pregnant is to have your doctor run the test. It is more accurate than a home pregnancy test and he or she will be able to instruct you on what to do if it comes back positive. Good luck!

Can you be pregnant even though a blood test came back negative 14 days after insemination?

It's highly unlikely. Blood tests measure HCG levels, and an hCG level of less than 5mIU/ml is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25mIU/ml is considered positive for pregnancy. If you still do not have a period go back for a repeat test to see.

Why do you get negative pregnancy test results when your period is 10 days late?

maybe your pregnant, maybe your period cycle is changing

What does the inside strip of a clear blue digital pregnancy test look like when it's positive?

The digital pregnancy tests are the same set up as the basic tests. You will urinate on the test (or dip it in your fresh urine) and it will say positive or negative, but if you were to take the test apart the inside has the strip that will show with the one (if negative) or two (if positive) lines. From my experience, sometimes the test will display a negative reading but the strip will be positive with a faint line so always double test a few days later.
