    Home Pregnancy Tests

    How accurate are they? If I've done a number of tests (12 or so) over the last two weeks and they repeatedly come up negative that would be fairly accurate yes? As in I'm not pregnant?

    I think they're generally around the 99% accuracy rate. I presume your period is late, and that's why you're testing? If so, then they should be giving you the right result. Of course if you were to test at the wrong time of the month, when it's too early for a baby to have implanted, then you'd get a negative. Is your cycle normally a consistent length?
