Well I took a test about a month ago, and it came out negative.
And then I took another test about a week ago because my stomach started getting bigger and I was kind of in a "Wtf" stage.
Turns out I forgot to put the caps back on the tests I took previously, and the sample got contaminated, and so it didn't work and came out negative.
And the tests I took last week, I DID put the caps back on, and they came out positive.

So make sure when you take a test, to replace the caps on the sample strip so it doesn't get contaminated or dries up.

Cuz I'm 12 weeks pregnant today, and so that just proves that I was pregnant when I took that other test.

Try taking another test in about a week, and remember to do that.

Most tests will not pick up your HGC levels until you're a full month or 4 weeks into your pregnancy.

They "SAY" that it can pick  up at 3,4,5 days before your missed period... but the chances are very slim.

Just keep track of the weeks n such.
Take another test when you think you're a good month along if you think you're pregnant.
And if it doesn't pick it up by then, then it obviously means you're not.

Or an easier, free way to do it...
Go get a blood test from your doc.
They can detect higher levels of HGC and tell you right of the bat. As early as 3 days pregnant.

Hope this helps, and hope you get the answer you want on your test response.
Good luck. =]
