And there isn't any vomiting ,heartburn or anything of that nature. the pulsation feeling is around the belly button area left and right,and just above the belly button area .

Brief Answer:
pregnancy is ruled out. Pulsation can be from aorta or gases.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for appreciating the answer and reverting back.

As you have mentioned that you have negative pregnancy test, you need not worry about pregnancy.
You can simply wait for the onset of periods or induce the periods with Tab Regestrone. Your treating doctor can guide you about the doses and withdrawal bleeding of the same.

Also, you have no symptoms related to H. Pylori infection.

Lastly , about the feeling of pulsation around the belly button . It can be due to pulsation of aorta. - the great blood vessel in the abdomen. Sometimes, movement Of gases in the intestine can produce some pulsating feeling in the abdomen neat and around the belly button.

I hope this answer helps you.
Please feel free to communicate again about your query.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Can be PMS,Beta HCG test will be of help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

I am sure most of your doubts are getting cleared by now.
In your case, negative pregnancy test and your pregnancy symptoms, and breast symptoms can be due PMS- premenstrual syndrome.
Are you getting such breast symptoms for the first time?
Usually, such symptoms wear off with the onset of menses.
I will suggest you to see, if your symptoms vanish as your periods begin.

If you still have doubt about pregnancy test result, blood beta HCG test is the most reliable test to detect pregnancy. test values below 5 indicate non pregnant status, ans values above 25 confirm the pregnancy.

Secondly, it will be too early to get pulsation feeling in the abdomen because of pregnancy. And it will not be around the area of belly button.
So mostly, it can be due gases in the intestine or aortic pulsation.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
