Negative Pregnancy Test
SHARE

Missed period, light bleeding, and still, it is a negative pregnancy test. Sometimes, a negative pregnancy test doesn’t necessarily mean that you are not pregnant. There are several reasons for a missed period, light bleeding, and negative pregnancy test, such as the test results might be wrong, you took the test wrong, or you took the test too early. Whether or not you want to become pregnant, these conflicting outcomes can lead to stress, confusion, and worry for any woman.

Here are the several reasons for a missed period and still negative pregnancy test:

  • One of the biggest reasons is the miscalculation of your period. Usually, the menstrual cycle repeats every 28 days. If you have a regular 28-day cycle, you can count from the first day of your last menstrual cycle to find out the next period date.
  • Sometimes, a home pregnancy test can give false results. Home tests only provide accurate results when the pregnancy hormone hCG levels are higher. Also, make sure that the test kit you use is a well-known brand.
  • When you follow improper directions, the result may be negative. Read the result under the specified period, 5-10 minutes. Also, dip the strip well in the urine.
  • Detecting pregnancy too early may also be the reason for the negative test result. Also, your body should have enough hCG levels to detect pregnancy.
  • Another reason is a poor urine sample. Usually, pregnancy tests are recommended with the first urine sample in the day. If you drink plenty of fluids before taking the test, hCG levels in the urine sample will get diluted, thus leading to a false result.
  • Different levels of hCG hormone are another reason for the negative result. Some women may notice that they are pregnant even if they miss their period, while it will take a little longer for others. The varied hCG levels can produce negative results.
  • An irregular period is also a common cause of a negative pregnancy test. Higher stress and anxiety levels can disturb reproductive hormones, thus delaying ovulation or the onset of menstruation.

Here are the reasons for light bleeding and still negative pregnancy test:

Light bleeding or spotting is medically termed implantation bleeding, occurring 6-12 days after ovulation and fertilization. By this time, your body cannot produce sufficient hCG hormone levels to detect pregnancy. So, the test result will be negative. You must wait a week or two to get accurate pregnancy test results.

If you still have implantation bleeding and the test results are negative, you should talk to the physician. It may be a sign of another condition you are unaware of, or you could be just having irregular menstrual periods.
