Pain In The Lower Abdomen, Tender Breasts. Tested Negative For HPT. Pregnant?
I have had pain in my lower abdomin and lower back, my breast are tender, I feel empty not long after eating, and I m can t seem to get enough water. I have tested negative on a urine test from a dermatology office and hpt from the stores. I should start my period in 2 days. Do you think I could be pregnant even though I am testing negative?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
We cannot confirm or rule out the pregnancy just by symptoms.
Urine pregnancy test kit may not detect the pregnancy in very early stages.
So you better wait till your expected date of periods.
And if you miss the date, you go for urine test pregnancy.
You can also go for blood test for pregnancy, which can give more accurate result.
Take care.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing to us,
As you have been tested negative for HPT twice , it decreases the chances of yourself getting pregnant to minimum.
Tender breast and lower abdominal pain prior to next cycle are due to hormonal imbalance, quite normal in a non pregnant lady. It is to make your womb prepared for your next ovum to carry.
If you get the symptoms worsening , visit an gynecologist.
Take care.
