I got a positive on one at 10dpo, and a false negative the next day at 11. Freaked me out, but I *was* pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1395659 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 13:39:22 +0000 SAHM0811 1395659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup tested too early... </p> <p>wait a day or two and re-test ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1395362 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 12:04:25 +0000 littlek 1395362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Something you want to tell us? i think if you test to early, you can get a false negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1395353 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 12:01:16 +0000 Freckles 1395353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, only because i tested too early. I got a positive a few days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1395333 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 11:58:20 +0000 pinkcupcake 1395333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only b/c I tested too early! Got a - on a Weds, then a + on Saturday :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1395329 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 11:56:33 +0000 wonderstruck 1395329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was under the impression that false negatives are fairly normal since there's a range of time that it can take for the egg to implant and enough of the hormone to be released for a pregnancy test to pick it up. And I've heard of some crazy circumstances where people don't get a positive until super late in the pregnancy, but that's pretty darn rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1394949 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 10:17:41 +0000 reverie 1394949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>False positives are extremely rare. False negatives may indicate you tested too early. </p> <p>Apparently if a guy pees on a stick and gets a positive it can indicate cancer.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1394863 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:51:39 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1394863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did get a negative but it was too early to test! Got a positive a couple days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1394860 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:50:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 1394860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not me, but my SIL never got a positive on a HPT with either of her children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1394810 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:37:17 +0000 swedishfish 1394810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well sure, it was just too early to test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1394796 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:34:08 +0000 mrs.cookie 1394796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got several negatives before my BFP with DD, but I think it was actually because I ovulated super late so my levels weren't high enough yet... She was our little miracle who shouldn't really have been here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1394779 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:28:28 +0000 blackbird 1394779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nevermind, i was thinking false positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1394763 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:22:18 +0000 pui 1394763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm under the impression that a false negative on any test is rare/impossible.</p> <p>ETA: I just realized we're talking false negatives not false positives lol. Obviously my brain wasn't awake yet. False negatives happen all the time, false <i>positives</i> are what are rare/impossible.</p> <p>False negatives can happen if you test too early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-gotten-a-false-negative-on-a-first-response-test#post-1394751 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:19:16 +0000 chopsuey 1394751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: ha!
