False negative
I’ve read something about false negative that women can get during pregnancy but couldn’t understand. It means that a women is pregnant but still get negative results on the pregnancy test. Any ideas about it?

I’ve never heard of that. Where did you read it?

Some women don’t get high levels of hcg in their urine so hpt don’t show up positive

False negative but its supposed to be positive? Hmmm. I know some woman who didnt get a positive until later in pregnancy but Idk why personally.

I’ve read it on the internet in a community not sure about it’s name! But there’s a lot of super late bfp stories

Are you talking about a cryptic pregnancy?

Cryptic pregnancy is very rare and there isn’t a lot of medical documentation surrounding it. Your more likely to encounter a faulty test.

No it’s just that some women’s body dont produce enough hcg to be detectable at first so they keep getting bfn until like 10 weeks of pregnancy

Amanda, it happens. Typically it doesnt take that long for a positive test, but I have heard of women having very slow rising hcg at first and not being able to detect it until later. That said, Beaky is right. It is much more likely a faulty test.

This is the comment i read on the community :
The earliest I got a BFP with my previous pregnancies was at 8 weeks. it was something to do with the way my body metabolised HCG in my urine. In fact with one of my boys I needed bloods at 14 weeks to confirm I was pg... no HPT's had shown +!!!

Very very rare.
