What Causes Delay In Periods And Fatigue Despite Having Negative UPT?
Hi, I am now 7 days late. I had unprotected sex 3 days before my ovulation. My last period was on 6/17. I took two home pregnancy tests and both are negative. I started having back aches and leg pain today and have been breaking out more than usual. I also feel sick nauseous, body aches, extremely tired! Could I be pregnant?? Im freaking out! g
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCm. I have read your description and understand your concern. Sometimes, urine pregnancy test could come negative when done in early after an episode of missed periods. It would be ideal to take a urine pregnancy test after 10 days following a missed period. In case it is negative, you need to get your blood tested for beta hCG levels and a tras-vaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) to know about the status of pregnancy. In case the results does not indicate pregnancy, you need to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and appropriate management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
