Had Intercourse. Now Menses Are Late.Pregnancy Test Negative. Am I Pregnant?
Hello doctor. I got married this year on Jan 10. My menstrual bleeding started on the 14th of Jan and ended on 18th of Jan. Last intercourse was Jan 22nd. After Jan 22nd, I left my husband to resume my work abroad. But now I have noticed that my menses hasn t arrived yet. I did a pregnancy blood test on Jan 26th and it was negative. Am I pregnant?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since your last periods started on 14th jan, it is too early to get a positive test on 26th Jan. You should at least be ten days past your expected time of ovulation to get a positive blood test. You need to wait for your periods and if these are overdue, repeat the test.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
