Hello,

Did you conduct the home pregnancy tests properly?  You should read the result in 3-5 minutes, anything beyond that time limit is invalid.

it depends on how long it was between the home tests and the blood tests, if you have had a miscarriage inbetween the two, your blood test would show negative.
