14 days late!!!!

I took a pregnancy test But it was one of those cheaper pregnancy tests from the dollar store completely negative. Anybody else take a different brand and get a positive.  Having pregnancy symptoms but the test is throwing me off.  Any sugguestions thanks.

As destynee said it doesn't matter what test you get one could always not work. And just because you are so many days late doesnt mean you are far enough along to get a positive result you could have ovulated late and not have enough hcg in your urine. I've used a lot of different test. I would say first response early result would be a good one to use.  With this pregnancy I used the 88 cent one from Wal-Mart first signal I think is the name. And the test was extremely faint so I waited a few days and bought the F.R.E.R. test and I could see the line better. You can't look up online about the hpt and it will tell you which ones are the more sensitive ones.

Ladies, the only reason I said SOMETIMES, is because ive bought 2 tests from the dollar store and 1 was negative. The 2nd one was positive. So it is possible to get a faulty test period.

I took a test from Dollar Tree and it came out positive, for certainty I went in to a women's clinic and paid for a blood test, which was also positive.

Get another brand. Sometimes the dollar tree ones are no good and wont pick up the HCG in ur urine. Get like a $5 one and test with the first pee in the morning when u wake up. If its still negative, u may have to get a blood test at the doctor. Take care
