Hello dear
Understand your concern
Symptoms of pregnancy are variable from women to women. But most common symptoms is delayed/missed period.
Flowing are the variable symptoms of pregnancy:
Enlarged/engorged breast, darkening of areola, sore nipple, enlargement of areola, bluish discoloration of external genitalia, mood changes, tiredness, dizziness.
So from your symptoms, pregnancy will not be confirmed.
Your pregnancy test was negative as you did very early. I advice you to repeat the test after 7-10 days. You can also go for blood HCG as it is more accurate and give positive test even with in 7 days of delayed period.
USG should be done by gynaecologist as it is visual full proof of pregnancy.
If again it will give negative result then there may be possibility of hormonal dysfunction (should be diagnosed by reproductive hormone analysis), ectopic pregnancy due to (abdominal cramp-should be diagnosed by USG scan), stress induced delayed period (reduce stress and do relaxation excercise like yoga daily in the morning)
Drink lots of water and eat healthy diet and fresh fruits.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
