How Can A Pregnancy Be Accurately Confirmed?
I am 21 years old, I have always had issues taking at home pregnancy tests, they always turn out to be negative. I didn't find out I was pregnant with my son until I was 3 months pregnant, I believe I just had a miscarriage, I have been testing negative for a few weeks now. I am wondering if theres a way to more accurately find out if im pregnant or not since tests do not seem to work for me?

HI!
Urinary tests are known for the falls positivity rates.
The most accurate test is blood bHCG.
bHCG is a hormon which is produced during pregnancy. It shows up in urine which is catched by urinary test, or in blood.
But, the blood analysis is the most accurate.
Then, after doing that, an ultrasoud examination is useful.
