Can A Home Pregnancy Test Showing Negative With Every Sign Of Pregnancy Be Reliable ?

Hi, I took a home pregnancy test the other day and its been almost 4 weeks since I've had sex and it came up negative, but I'm experiencing every sign of pregnancy there is. Just to be sure the next time I had to pee I did so on the test again, and the second time it came up positive, but it was on the same home pregnancy test. Is it reliable?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The home pregnancy test is reliable if performed properly.
What was the time gap between first and second test.
The urine pregnancy test comes out to be positive 11-15 days after conception.
The second test came out to be positive, this could be due to conception after the first test was performed.
You can take up the urine pregnancy test once again to be more sure.
The symptoms of pregnancy during first trimester is amenorrhea and morning sickness.

Thanks and take care
