I have a lot of pregnancy symptoms (i've been pregnant before so I kinda know) and am on birth control. Can the pregnancy test show a false-negative?

    What symptoms are you talking about? There are no symptoms of pregnancy until morning sickness kicks in and if/when that happens you will be past the first missed period and as such a test will give, in 99.6% of occasions, a correct answer.
    If in doubt goto a doctor!

    • You can definitely exhibit other symptoms of pregnancy without experiencing morning sickness. Some women don't have morning sickness at all, and others don't experience it until the 3rd trimester (I'm assuming you'd see other symptoms of pregnancy by then! Fetal movement being the biggest one!).

    • OK, please can you tell me what symptoms there are BEFORE or around the time the 1st period is missed. Fetal movement does NOT occur that early, the fetus is not even properly formed until about week 10.

    • Breast tenderness, nipple changes (most prominently, the enlargement of montgomery's tubercles), increased urinary frequency, among others. I've had two children, and I've been pregnant a few more times than that - so trust me, I'm well aware of the early symptoms of pregnancy. Morning sickness isn't the only indicator of pregnancy before a missed period. I knew I was pregnant before I ever missed my periods, and in the case of my last pregnancy - I scheduled a doctor's appointment before I'd even taken a pregnancy test. I said that some women don't experience morning sickness until the THIRD TRIMESTER (that's the LAST THREE MONTHS of pregnancy) and fetal movement would be a pretty good indicator of pregnancy if that was the case (since the fetus usually starts to be felt moving around the 16th week).

    • OK, so you are saying that breast tenderness, nipple changes and increased urinary frequency are all symptoms of pregnancy within the first 5 weeks.
      OK, fair answer! Thank you for the education, I was aware of the last one, I just forgot it!

    • Yep, that's what I'm saying. Men don't have breasts so they typically don't understand what happens to them during pregnancy, except they get bigger! =) Ask any woman who's been pregnant and she'll tell you that in the first three months it feels like someone is sandpapering your nipples. I just wanted to make clear that morning sickness isn't always the first indicator of early pregnancy, though it is often the most apparent - especially for a woman who has never been pregnant before, and that some women don't experience morning sickness at all, and others not until later in the pregnancy.
