Have you ever had a false negative pregnancy test even testing a few days after period is late?

Please comment if yes. My period is a few days late but negative pregnancy test. I don’t know when to test again and I don’t know why else it could be so late. Usually quite regular.

Boots accuracy?

I had this positive test appear on my boots test, it appeared between 2-6minutes of taking the test but I didn’t time it. Im very early testing but as soon as I saw positive I looked at the reviews of the tests and they’re quite negative for showing indent lines that look positive. Does this look like a positive or ...

Help! 🥺 photos in comments

I had a positive frer yesterday, but this morning the line looks a little lighter. I took some different tests but they still seem similar to yesterday’s if not a tiny bit darker. Has anyone experienced this and it been okay? This would already be a rainbow, so please be sensitive in comments 🙏🏻💕

Does it get easier?

What I mean by that is pregnancy and parenting. I'm 14, and pregnant. I haven't even got to highschool yet and I am so scared. I don't know what I'm going to do, it's incredibly hard right now and the baby isn't even here, let alone when she is here, great goodness.

☺️☺️

So the AI check said test line was visible. I see it but don’t believe it. If there is a line here, would a first response test show me a line too?

What to do next at 44, help!

I’ve spent a year doing ovulation induction as i only get one or two follicles maturing using injectable drugs to stimulate them. My egg reserves test came back very low (the same low as when I conceived my daughter at 41). Docs say don’t bother with ivf as it’s pretty much the same chances as doing ovulation induct...

Did you tell children you were trying for another baby?

Another mum asked if I was 'one & done' today and when I said no, she then asked if I had told my 3 year old, we were trying for a baby. I said no because we haven't and it's got me thinking, is it something people tell or not?

Help, evap?

I took this test earlier and it was negative after the 3 mins, but a few hours later there’s a clear thin blue line. I’m sure it’s an evap but I’m confused as I thought they were colourless?!
