Why The Pregnancy Test Shows Negative?
i took a test and it was negative; two days later it was positive, i have all the symptoms of early pregnancy as well. I had my period on the 12th last month, was tested on the 21st by a clinic and that was negative. Im just curious if i am pregnant.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Do not worry about this, many women do not return a positive pregnancy test until 3 months into their pregnancy. This is because different women have different hCG values. hCG is the hormone that is detected in the pregnancy test to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
You should visit your doctor who will conduct a serum pregnancy test which is more accurate. Also, try conducting your home pregnancy test using an early morning urine sample which is most accurate and concentrated.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
