Brandi_S answered Thursday July 12 2007, 12:30 am: Just an FYI- Pregnancy tests have a higher chance of being false negatives than false positives. They are more accurate than you think.
In fact, my local doctor's offices and my county health department use tests just like you buy in the store. I'm sure it is the same where you live. The only time the doctor's office doesn't use those tests is when they do a blood test.
To ensure an accurate result, if your friend is a teen, she should wait to test until she is at least 2 weeks late for her next due period.
Why? Because her menstrual cycle is not likely regulated, for starters. Also, she has to allot time for enough progesterone to show up in her urine for the test to give a positive result, if she is pregnant.

Well as they say pregnancy tests aren't always accurate, it this case it isn't either. You might want to purchase another two from a different brand. You could also go to planned parenthood, or a doctor, those would be the most accurate.
Hope you guys find out!

Turn the test the other way. It is a minus sign, you are holding the test wrong. ;-)
If she can't figure this out, she might not be ready to have sex yet. Just a thought.
