Can I Still Be Pregnant Even Though The Pregnancy Tests Are Negative?

I had sex during my fertility window and i felt like i was pregnant. On the 31st i took a test and it came back negative. I didnt think much of it and on the first i started to brown spot on the 1st. Thats normal for me since i will spot a day before my period slowly starts. Instead of spotting for the whole day, it progressed into a full on heavy crimson bleed by 11pm. I thought any chance of being pregnant was out the window.
Overnight instead of being heavy as i thought it would be, it was less than it would normally be. Its bright red, had some red tissue / clots come out. Its still red now 4 days later but barely any bleed at all. However, day 3 and today (day 4) i have been feeling like im about to throw up. I ate breakfast just then and I still feel like im going to throw it up. i dont get whats going on, ive been to a doctor who told me to wait but, the symptoms are now just confusing me. ty for any help.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Changes in the menstrual flow can occur due to many causes like hormonal imbalance, thyroid abnormalities, weight changes, anemia etc.
As you had complete 4 days period, the possibility of pregnancy is less.
And yes, sometimes urine pregnancy test kit may not detect early pregnancy.
But just by that we cannot come to one conclusion regarding miscarriage.
So, if you want to confirm, once go for blood test for pregnancy.
Blood test for pregnancy measures beta hcg levels.
Which will be elevated in pregnancy.
The levels will take some time to come to zero level even after miscarriage.
So, by doing this test you can detect the possible miscarriage.
Take care.
