Take a deep breath. Yes, this is scary, but don't panic yet. Be ready to be supportive and clear-headed.

Pregnancy tests are very reliable. False negatives are FAR more common than false positives, and as another poster said, a false positive can be due to issues unrelated to pregnancy, particularly having to do with hormones and/or medications.

A "missed" period might actually be an extremely late period due to a late ovulation. Anything from illness to travel to stress over a job/family/etc. can cause a woman to ovulate late. The period comes 12-16 days after ovulation, but if the ovulation happened a lot later than usual, a woman's period can be much later than she expected.

Best wishes.
