Hello and welcome,
I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.
You have taken the pregnancy test too early. It comes positive about a week after the missed period and is best done with the first morning sample of urine. So repeat this test after 7 days if you do not have a period. The symptoms are non specific and may occur in many conditions. The best way to know is by a pregnancy test.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
