Hi!


Just curious if anyone has any more info on the pregnancy tests from the dollar store giving false negatives.


Thanks,


Diana

ALL pregnancy tests give false negatives. It happens all the time, every day! Your body has to have enough DETECTABLE hcg for the test to pick it up. The dollar store tests are just as accurate as the $25 tests.

I agree 100%,


I bought 3 tests from the dollar store and all three came back positive. Very rare to get a false positive, but you have to make sure you wait until there is enough of the hormone in your system to make sure you don't get a false negative.

i got two from dollar general... the $1 tests... both came back positive so this week I am going to go to the doctor to find out for sure :-) I'm hoping it wasn't a false positive. . . but of course there is that fear that it could be....\
