Has anyone here had "false negative" results from home pregnancy tests, and if so, how far into the pregnancy were these? The box says accurate at 7 - 10 days after conception, but I have a gut feeling the negative result is wrong.

If you have a feeling that the test could be wrong, then wait afew days and test again, some times HCG levels may be too low to give a positive. many women have recieved false negatives, I was one of them. I got false negatives for a month, and then finally a positive. It happens somtimes, my baby was very healthy and I had no problems, somtimes it depends on tests. I heard that first response early detection was a good one. Just try again, it never hurts to be sure.

I got false negative because I have Low hormones, My baby was healthy and everything, I just had to take vitamins to help boost my energy and regulate my hormones.
