What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Having Negative UPT?

Hi there. My period is going on 8 days late today and so I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. I have never missed a period and it s never late but more than a day or two occasionally. Could I be pregnant even though the test is negative?

Hello,

There is a very small percentage of being pregnant while the test is negative. Since you took the test more than 5 days of delayed period then the test result is accurate do most probably you are not pregnant.

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

Take care

Regards,
