Reasons for a false negative

A home pregnancy test can give you a false negative reading if:

• The pregnancy test you are you using is expired.
• You didn’t follow the instructions properly, such as not waiting the full amount of time before checking the panel.
• You took the test too soon, meaning your hCG levels are too low to be recorded.
• Your urine is diluted, because you drank too many fluids beforehand.





• If you are taking certain medications, such as diuretics or antihistamines.
