What Causes A Missed Period With Negative Pregnancy Test?

I missed my period entirely and the only other time I did that was when I got pregnant before. I took a test an it came out positive....after a week or so I didn t feel as much ....like i was pregnant and felt more normal. I decided to take another pregnancy test and I did and it was negative. I took another one early in the morning and it was negative too. Does this happen often? I read that protein can cause a negative pregnancy...I eat alot of protein and work out ..so just wondered if that might affect it? I haven t started bleeding at all and i m having the symptoms related to being pregnant..but not sure if I am anymore.... what do you think?

Hi,

Proteins in your diet should not affect the pregnancy test. Since all the three pregnancy tests you performed week after a week of missed period, you cannot be pregnant. After a week of missed period, the results of these tests are reliable. Still if you are suspicious and want to confirm the pregnancy status, you may perform Beta hCG test on your blood. Values more than 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy while in non-pregnant state, the values remain under 5 mIU/ml.

To get the menses after missed period in non-pregnant state, you may take some Progestational product like Deviry (with an advice from your Gynaecologist), then within 4 to 7 days, you would get withdrawal bleeding.

Occasionally, periods may get delayed even without pregnancy - due to transient hormonal disturbance or physical or mental stress. If such irregularity persists, please report to your gynecologist.

I hope this resolves your issue. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
