Has anyone out there ever experienced false negative home preg test result? Or did you know someone else who did? Just wondering since I am now 12 days late for period...but am going to docs on Monday.

yep! i was 1 week late had a negative ept test then 2 days later took it again positive! (i ended up miscarrying within 2 weeks though so maybe something was wrong hormonally from the beggining which affected my measuarable levels of the hormone the test is supposed to detect.)

Good luck, Tweetie!
Hey all. I am not pregnant. I was sad at first, but am still young and have many months/ yrs ahead of me to try again. Still have not started period though. Apparently my cycle is really screwed up now since I had been on birth control for sooooo long (got off bc pills in November). I will let y'all know when babies decide to make their debut into our life. :)
I'm sorry tweetie, hopefully you will get everything regulated again soon. >>> Heck, the trying is the fun part anyways, after that its just ugly maternity clothes, morning sickness, swollen ankles(and everything else) and strange cravings. Sending some of my hyper-fertile vibes your way LOL.
Thanks BrandyLPN!! :) :)
