Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Negative Pregnancy Test Results?

Hello, my period is almost two weeks late. During this time I have taken 6 home pregnancy tests, all were negative, one showed an evaporation line many hours after the test was taken, but this was not the last test I took. I have been on birth control for two years when I ran out of my prescription so I was off of it for a month. I got my period as normal that month. I went back on it and got my period as normal. I didn t take my pill the next month since I was abroad and didn t have it. Since then, I missed my period. I never had unprotected sex but did have sex with a condom. I have read that stopping the pill can mess with your cycle, I was always regular before the pill but I never stopped it, started again, and then stopped it. Should I be worried about being pregnant?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many other causes of delayed periods then pregnancy. And yes you are right one cause is the pills. Besides many other like diet stress, exercise may also causes delayed periods. In the above context when pregnancy test repeatedly negative, pregnancy is very unlikely. You can confirm the same by doing an ultrasound. But better to wait for few days if you get your menses.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
