How To Check For Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Sat, 13 Dec 2014
Question: I usually have a regular 25-27 day cycle. I am currently on day 30 and still have no period. I am trying for a baby but tests I have done including today is negative. Could I still be pregnant?
I have used cheap internet tests that are about 60p each would I be better using something like clear blue or is it unlikely that I am pregnant.

Many thanks for your help

Brief Answer:
YES.

Detailed Answer:
Well, with a missed period, that is the first thing to be ruled out, particularly since you have been trying to conceive.
So yes , if you never have a delayed cycle, then there is a possibility of a pregnancy.
Take care.
