Can you depend on a pregnancy test?
Manufacturers of home test kits claim that their kits are 97%-99% accurate, but the sensitivities of different test kits depend on the levels of hCG in the urine required for a positive result. Sometimes a home test is negative if the test is done too early because there may not yet be enough hCG to test positive. ChaCha!

About Pregnancy Test
A pregnancy test is a convenient and accurate way to see if someone is pregnant. At-home tests are performed by the woman urinating on the stick, which intern determines if the hormone (HCG) is present. If HCG is detected, then the pregnancy test will reveal it either by a color change, or digitally depending on the type of test. Most tests are accurate 99% to 100% of the time, but there are still conditions which can produce a false negative.
