What Are The Chances Of Being Pregnant Due To Nausea, Headache And Cramps ?

Hello I've been feeling sick since Monday I've been concerned about being pregnant, so I took a home pregnacy test and it came out negative. I've been having nausea, headaches so often and cramping in the stomach. The Nausea comes and goes also I feel dizzy at times. Any idea what could be going on?!

Hi,
If you have been regular with your cycles, and sexually active without any contraception, you should suspect pregnancy if you have missed your period. A home pregnancy test may not read positive early on; the test should ideally be done 3-7 days after a missed period with a fresh early morning sample of urine. If you wish for an earlier confirmation, you can opt for the serum beta-hCG titre estimation as this is more sensitive as well as specific. Your symptoms can be due to pregnancy but are not very specific. Hope this helps.
