How accurate are pregnancy tests?
Hey there, 18/f
Okay so I had sex back in march around the 16th 17th. I had just finished my period. It's now June and I haven't got a period since.
Bearing in mind I am usually extremely irregular and sometimes skip a month completely. So initially I wasn't worried. However I have never gone this long.
I have taken two clear blue pregnancy tests and both times showed I wasn't pregnant.
So basically I'm just wondering how reliable these results are to go on? I plan to see my doctor within the next week if it still hasn't arrived.
I was on medication for seven months and actually only came off in march. Could that also be a reason?
I know stressing about it can delay it further but I'm actually not stressed at all I just came back from two weeks of travelling so my mind was completely else where until now.
I just don't want to be one of those girls who didn't know she was pregnant lol
Any advice appreciated :)
Oh and I'm currently not on the pill.

Two home tests with the same results says you can trust the tests. Most likely comming of the medication you were on for so long has upset your body chemistry. Medication will do that.
You need to check in with your GYN just so the doctor can be sure nothing else is going on. I suspect your body will readjust on its own. It is better to be safe than sorry so seeing your doctor is the right thing to do.

They're pretty accurate. If you were that far along, it'd be showing up on a home test by now, unless they were expired or something.
Definitely have a doctor test you - their tests are more accurate & they can also do ultrasounds (to make sure there isn't something else causing the lack of periods).

Pregnancy tests are pretttyy accurate. I suggest you take a couple more, just to check. Sometimes you can completely loose your period due to health issues, and that's bad. If you really aren't pregnant yes you should go to a doctor and find out why you haven't got your period! & you'd be around three monthes pregnant now so you should have alot of symptoms. You're probably not pregnant.
