Hallow Dear,

If 10 days after the missed period the urine pregnancy tests are negative, probability of pregnancy is very less. If you are still in doubt, for further confirmation, you have following options:

1. Repeat the test on the overnight first morning urine sample. This urine is concentrated with the hCG hormone and hence the test will be more reliable.

2. Get Beta hCG test done.

3. Get ultrasonography done.

If any of these tests reports are no pregnancy, then what your doctor has prescribed is a right treatment to get your menses. Take Primolut N or Deviry tablets for 5 days. You will have withdrawal bleeding 4-7 days after that.

I hope this helps you.
