What Are The Chances Of Conception Despite Urine Test Showing Negative?

Hi, I am on my CD 58 and 26 days period overdue. I tested on 6th, 7th, 14th day of missed period on HPT. but all negative. Went to a gyn and took a test again in her clinic. Again negative. But she still asked me to test the next day with early morning urine to be sure. And only then start Primolut-N 5mg tabs for 3 days thrice a day. The next test was also negative taken on preganews. Now its been 3 days have stopped the tab and no sign of periods. We are TTC for past 4 months. So what could be the reason for delayed periods and also is it possible that the HPTs are negative but I am still pregnant. Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks so much for this query

I am so sorry to hear about these repeated efforts to conceive without success. 5 months in conception is a very short time and you would need to keep trying for up to 12 months before we can start suspecting that something isn't going on right with you.

From the information you have provided, the chances of you being pregnant are almost zero right now. Not all missed periods are synonymous to pregnancy and this is clearly the case with you.It usually takes averagely 5days after stopping primolut for bleeding to occur. I will suggest you patiently wait for the withdrawal bleed in the days ahead.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.

You are not pregnant. Urine pregnancy tests only measure one thing, Human Chorionic Gonadatropin. HCG is elevated in pregnancy and detectable in urine and blood a little over a week after conception. After three tests the results are not disputable. Sorry. It can take the average fertile couple six to eight months to conceive. so it is possible nothing is wrong. . It's can be skipped occasionally for no particular reason however if it persists it will be time to check thyroid,prolactin and FSH blood levels too check that the cycling mechanism can get the right signals. I apologize I am not familiar with the abbreviations CD, TTC. I assume you meant conception date and trying to coceive. Good luck.
