Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.
Since Pregnancy test is negative, it is less likely your fiancé could be pregnant.
But it all depends when was the pregnancy test done. Most of the pregnancy tests are 98% sensitive when it is done 2 days after missed periods.

Enlarged breast with soreness could be due to hormonal changes (progesterone) in the second half of the cycle.

I recommend you fiancé to
1.Repeat urine pregnancy test (UPT).
2.This needs to be followed by ultrasonography if UPT is positive to rule out chances of miscarriage.
3.Start folic acid tablets. 5 mg of folic acid needs to be taken daily.
4. Have plenty of fluids and healthy diet.

Hope i have answered both your queries. You can write to me anytime for further clarifications.

regards and good luck.
Dr Nilofer
