How long did it take to get a positive on a home pregnancy test?

I’ve heard that some people get it before they miss a period and some not for weeks after. I suspect I may be pregnant. I’m 2 weeks late yet have yet to see a positive test. I just want to know other peoples experience with HPT’s.

    I took a test 3 days before my period and it was negative. Then, I got a very faint line on the day of my missed period and a definite positive the day after. It is different for everyone, but if you are 2 weeks late, you should be able to get an accurate result, esp with a name brand test. Good luck to you!!

    I would go to the doctor and have a blood test performed, because they are more accurate. But in my experience (mother of three) I have NEVER been pregnant and a home pregnancy test come up negative. As a matter of fact, in my 1st pregnancy, the home pregnancy test was positive, and the doctor’s urine test was negative. I waited a week, went back and it was still negative. So they gave me a blood test, and it was positive. I had that same experience about a year ago. The home pregnancy test was positive, but the urine test in the doctor’s office was negative. I had to once again take a blood test to reveal that I was actually pregnant.

    In my experience, the home pregnancy urine tests are more sensitive and accurate than the one’s in the doctors office.

    I would ask the doctor to give you a blood test. That measure the amount of HCG in your blood and it tells exactly HOW far along you are in your pregnancy.

    If your periods are 2 weeks delayed then the hpt will definitely give u an accurate result. it gives u an accurate result on the day of ur missed period but for some it gives the result as early as 5 days b4 your missed period. i had done a hpt 4 days before my expected period n it showed a +ve result (although the result was very faint to see)

    but in ur case if u still suspect tht u might be pregnant then ur best bet would be to do a blood test. but believe me 99% of the time the hpt always gives the right result (if tried after 2 weeks of ur missed period) i believe ur periods must have got delayed due to some hormonal changes in ur body.

    I had a positive test a week before my missed period. I have also had friends who never get a positive test on the stick and had to go to the dr.

    i went to the doctors today with a very similar problem (im currently 3 weeks late, neg home tests) i was told by the doctor that some women for whatever reason dont produce hcg in high enougth levels in their urine to give a positive result. she has however taken blood tests to check other possible causes for missing a period. and i was told to wait in the mean time and re test in a week or so. hope this helps.
