HPT BFN when you're actually pregnant: How often do you think it happens?

[garfield13]

This happened to my friend - she got a bfn and she would have been just under 6 wks pg. She tested again at about 7.5wks and it was positive

The reason people would be telling you to go to the doctors is because you opened with;

I'm currently ttc.... 12 days late and getting BFN's.

If that is not the reason you posted don't put it in your post. Don't get narky at our members for responding to your post with care.

If you want statistics, try a google search, go to your doctor and ask them.

Being only 12dpo and getting negatives tells me you're either not PG or it's just too soon to test.

I have +ve home tests but -ve Drs tests till over a week past AF was supposed to be due. Sometimes it just happens like that. My Dr told me to wait till AF was 2 weeks late so you get a definitive result because sometimes with the early tests it can pick up a bit of hormone from the fertilised egg but it doesn't implant for whatever reason. Only 1 in 3 embryos will implant so the odds of a false +ve with a home test are higher than a false -ve.

I mentioned it briefly me personally getting negatives when I may be pregnant it is the reason I am curious about the issue of how widespread false negatives may actually be. But I didn't create this thread to talk about myself, I created the thread to hear others stories, speculations and theories on the issue of the possibility of false negatives, not to talk about me.
