Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
Negative home pregnancy test cannot exclude pregnancy as it can give false negative results. Since you stopped contraception and have symptoms of pregnancy, I recommend to follow up with your gynecologist to get blood beta HCG testing done. If the blood test also rule out pregnancy, then you can take 5 day course of norethisterone to induce menstruation.
