Brief Answer:
depends on when test done
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Pregnancy tests detect the HCG hormone.
This hormone is produced in increasing amounts during the course of pregnancy. It can be detected by day 11 to 14 after conception by most pregnancy tests.Blood test can detect it slightly earlier.
If the test was done before this time, then it is falsely negative and it would be best to wait 3 to 5 days and then repeat.
If the tests were likely done after this time frame then they are accurate.
IF you wish to be sure you can consider asking your doctor for a blood HCG level.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
