I engaged in sexual activity almost two months ago, got my period on time last month. Since then no known activity that could lead to pregnancy; took a pregnancy test anyway because period was due yesterday. It was a clear blue test, I peed on the stick part and it turned pink, then I HELD the test in my hands, watched the urine fill up into a negative result. The problem is that I held it when the directions clearly said place on a flat surface. Did I completely screw up? Or is it safe to say I am not pregnant? Thanks

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
February 14, 2016 - 8:15pmIt is important to follow the instructions exactly in order for the results to be accurate. However, it is also important to wait until after a missed period to take a pregnancy test unless you take an early response test.
Below I have posted a link to a HER article that talks more about the accuracy of pregnancy tests:

I hope that helps.
