Content: Many times, a false negative may show up due to miscalculation of ovulation date or performing the test earlier than specified. Are Home Pregnancy Tests 100% Accurate
Usually, urine pregnancy test accuracy is not questionable though home pregnancy tests may not be 100% accurate. They claim to be almost 99% accurate if done correctly, and at the right time since your missed period date. The accuracy of the home pregnancy tests depends on how carefully and systematically the mentioned instructions were followed. But there is always a scope for human error which may put a question mark on 100% accuracy of these tests. Causes of False Positive Result
Some of the causes of false positive result can be: 1. Early miscarriage
In an instance of an early miscarriage where a woman may have conceived but lost her baby immediately after its implantation, it can lead to a false positive result. 2. Delayed reaction time
Sometimes interpreting the results after the lapse of the recommended time can produce a wrong result.
