You were 5 days late you are never late and today you started spotting could you still be pregnant you took a pregnancy test and said you wasn't?

Answer 1

You might be pregnant and not showing positive yet, but most likely you are starting your period. I would consult a physician. Yes, it is possible. But don't freak out just yet. Wait and see if you have a normal period. There are several things that can come in conflict with your period (medications, Birth Control, stress, change in diet etc.). But just so you know... There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc To ensure the best results: * Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip * Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.
