Pregnancy
Taking care of yourself with baby on the way.

Answer

Maybe the IUD failed to work or was expelled during one of your periods and you did get pregnant and you just took the pregnancy test too soon. Either way, go to the doctor, because thats something that needs professional medical attention. Don't mess around with your health. Taking good care of yourself should be your top priority.

Answer

There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc

To ensure the best results:

• Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest
• Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results
• Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low.
• urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip
• Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.
