Question : If I took 3 home pregnancy tests and all came out negative do I have to still go ahead and take blood test?

Brief Answer:
pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
If you have taken the home urine pregnancy testa after 8 days post missed periods with negative results , then you are not pregnant and you need not go for a serum beta hcg test ( blood test).
So with 3 negative tests, unlikely that you are pregnant.
I hope this answers your query, wishing you good health,
Regards

I took it this month after my last cycle was shorter than usual. So there is no chance of pregnancy right?

I was involved in foreplay with my partner 4 months ago. I have had my periods every month after that but last cycle was shorter. Hence I took the home pregnancy test.

Pregnancy is unlikely because of intercourse 4 months back if you had regular menses after that or since last 4 months.
