Wrong Results?

my period is about 11 days late. i took a pregnancy test (answer was the brand) around 1:30 pm, and the results were negative. i have always heard that you should take it first thing in the morning when you wake up to get the most accurate results. Since i took the test after eating and drinking (like soda and juice) for a few hours, what are the chances that its wrong?

Hmm... I've always read that it's definitely better to use first morning urine but at 11 days past your period, I would think you'd be able to use any urine. Maybe check w/your doctor and see if they'll do a blood test?

Oh, I know that feeling...we're not trying either, but every month when I get my period, I get this wave of disappointment. I just can't wait until we are actually trying. It'll be so much better because then I can share my feelings with DH every month. For now, I keep my disappointment to myself.
Well, I hope everythig goes well for you. Keep us posted and good luck.... :)
