I would NEVER let my fiancee use a dollar store pregnancy test. You should see a doctor, or use a name-brand test.

When you're three weeks pregnant, the egg might not even be embedded in the uterus yet. The "weeks pregnant" is measured from the start date of your last regular menstrual period. Even so, if the fertilised egg is embedded, after a week or so there may not be enough of the pregnancy hormone in the system to show up on the test. That's the reason for the false negatives. That is also the reason why the tests state that one should wait until their missed period to test, and if it shows up negative, to wait a few days and test again. It is the POSITIVE RESULT that is 98% accurate, not the test itself.
