Can i still be pregnant even though test negative

I am 8 days late for my period so decided to take a home pregnancy test today which turned out negative.  Is there still a chance i could be pregnant.  How accurate are these test? Has anyone else been in a similar situation and found that they were in fact pregnant even though test negative?

I'm kinda in the same boat:

My lmp was 7/22 and was normal, lasting 4 days.  on 8/1, i had very light pink bleeding for 3 days.  my period was supposed to start somewhere around 8/22-23 and was no where to be found.  my breasts are somewhat tender (mainly the right) and have been having increased pressure in my lower abdomen (not quite cramp-like, but uncomfy just the same).  i've taken several pregger tests and they've all come back negative.

so here's my question:  am i pregnant? are my hormones just off whack?  what in sam-hades is goin on with me?

Yes it can be inaccurate. I had a friend who had her monthly every month, did not gain any weight (if anything lost a couple lbs) and did not know she was pregnant until she went into labour (and even then she didn't know it was that until the EMS guy told her)

the baby was very still and so she had absolutely no sensation about being pregnant... She took a pregnancy test cause her monthly was late by a week one time and it came back negative... even though now it is obvious it was wrong......

With my first pregnancy, I was a month late with about 8 negative HPT's in the trash!! It wasn't until I went to the doctor who preformed a blood test that was able to verify that I was indeed pregnant. I think that every women is different when it comes to the HCG hormone that builds up. HPT's might not work as the marketing scheme claims...can detect 4 das before a missed period...for every women.
So all of you who get a negative HPT and think you may still be pregnant, I would say it is definitley possible. Go to your Dr. to find out!
