Does Delayed Periods, Cramps And Headaches Indicate Pregnancy?
Hi, I am 2 weeks late, and I have been experiencing some cramps,headaches and i am tired and hungry all the time. I have also been urinating more than usual...I have taken 2 pregnancy tests and both of them were negative. Could it be to early for the pregnancy test to detect the levels of hCG?

Hi, - In case you have a regular menstrual cycle,the symptoms you have are similar to pregnancy symptoms... but pregnancy test confirms pregnancy. You have done the test twice...you might have done them earlier. If so repeat it again. usually home pregnancy test is best done after 8-10 days delay in pregnancy. - In -ve pregnancy test I would suspect infection of urinary bladder with increased frequency of urine, cramps in lower abdomen & head ache. stress of the infection may cause delayed period .You need to check urine & take medication as per your doctor's advise. Thanks.
