I have no symptoms of getting my chums around. is it too early to detect. is there still a chance that i may be pregnant. pls suggest. wat other options are there to confirm the pregnancy

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy chances are less

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Pregnancy chances are less as beta hCG is low as well as urine pregnancy test is negative.

Anyway wait for a week and repeat test. Pregnancy chances are low.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

chances are less. not that we can 100% conclude it is negative. there is still a minor hope???

wat if i still dont get my chums. maximum how much time should i wait to have a confirmation. because i dont want to go on medication if there is even 1% chance

Brief Answer:
Less chance

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Chances are very less. The only possibility is if you had delayed ovulation. If you don't get chums by next week. repeat test again.
