Your period is 2 weeks late but your test is negative and you have cramps?

Answer 1

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 for a home pregnancy test:

· 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. OR 14 days after intercourse (sex). 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.
