Usually different results from pregnancy tests come from using the test too early. Taking the test too soon will cause a test to read a false negative.

False negative results are very common from using the test too early, false positive is almost unheard of unless the test kit was damaged somehow. Always check the kit before using it, including the expiration date and follow directions.
