Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I would like to know if you have regular menstrual cycles, if you had unprotected sexual intercourse during the fertile period and how many days overdue you are.

Please remember that ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period and this is the fertile period. Any unprotected intercourse during this period can cause conception.

Usually, withdrawal bleeding is seen 3-7 days after completion of the hormone course. Sometimes, it can be as long as ten days. If pregnancy has occurred, withdrawal bleeding fails to occur.

Home pregnancy tests read well when performed with a fresh early morning sample of urine 3-7 days after the missed period. For an earlier clarification you can get the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titers.

Your symptoms can happen with a very early pregnancy as well as in the premenstrual phase.

In the current scenario, you can watch for a couple of days and see a specialist for further evaluation and management. Meanwhile, you can repeat the pregnancy test.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
