How often will a home pregnancy test be negative and you still be pregnant?
Many home pregnancy tests claim to be 99 percent accurate on the day you miss your period. Although research suggests that most home pregnancy tests don't consistently spot pregnancy this early, the tests are considered reliable when used according to package instructions one week after a missed period.

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.
About Pregnancy Tests
Pregnancy tests are tests which detect a certain hormone called the ''human chorionic gonadotropin hormone,'' or hCG, in the urine or blood. This hormone only occurs in the body when a woman is pregnant.
About Pregnancy
Pregnancy is the state of carrying a developing embryo or fetus. Signs of pregnancy can occur as early as a few days after fertilization, and tests are accurate as early as six to eight days after ovulation.
