Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Urine pregnancy test kits may not give accurate result in very early pregnancy.
Test should be done 4 to 5 days after crossing the expected date of periods to get the accurate result.
Just by symptoms we cannot come to one conclusion regarding pregnancy.
So, you wait till your expected date of periods.
If you miss the date, repeat UPT 4 to 5 days after the date.
Meanwhile you can take symptomatic treatment.
Start taking folic acid tablets from nowonwards.
Take care.
