How accurate is a clear blue pregnancy test and is clear blue known for false negatives?

clear Blue is a fairly accurate test as it measures quite a small amount of the pregnancy hormone. any pregnancy test can give a false negative if done too early. But as it measures a small amount of hormone it should give very few after a missed period.

How many pregnancy tests should you take?
Home pregnancy tests are only 50% reliable if you are not pregnant, but almost 100% reliable if you are pregnant. In other words, they are not very reliable. (They are much more likely to tell you that you are pregnant if you are not than to tell you are not pregnant if you are.)It is better to see a doctor to have a blood test and ease your stress.actually, home pregnancy tests can be quite accurate if taken after your missed period. the above information is slightly off in terms of false results. actually, tests are more likely to tell you you're NOT pregnant when you ARE (false-negatives), rather than you ARE pregnant when you're not (false-positives). false-positive results are very rare, while false-negatives are more common (and usually caused by testing too early or with diluted urine). if you follow the instructions provided with the test kits, they ARE pretty reliable. though, i agree with the above answerer that doctor's results are always the MOST accurate.

from what i have experienced with EPT, they are always right. They are about 98% right from what i have read. if you use them correctly they should be almost totally accurate. The thing you have to know is there are such things as false negatives and they happen all the time, the likelyhood of there being a false positive is slim to none.

You are taking clomid to try to get pregnant would that affect the pregnancy signs?
I am going to answer this two different ways only because i want to make sure you get the answer you are looking for because I am not clear on "pregnancy signs": I think you mean signs and symptoms of pregnancy--yes the clomid has side effects in which can be the same as pregnancy signs. The other way this could be interpreted is "pregnancy signs" as in signs on a urine pregnancy test: clomid can cause a false positive or false negative sign so blood test most accurate. Hope this helps.
