Can A Pregnancy Test Be Negative But I Still Miss My Period?

My periods are normal and my expected date of getting periods for 21st August 2015 but still I have not got it. I checked pregnancy by using preganews today i.e 23rd August 2015 it has shown negative. Request you to kindly let me know when I should do the test or visit my genealogist.

OB & GYN Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

First of all, I suggest you to REPEAT the home pregnancy test after 2-3 days or undergo one blood test for beta-hCG to confirm pregnancy as initial test result may be sometimes inconclusive.

Beside pregnancy, reasons of late period and above clinical features could be hormonal imbalance, over weight/ extreme loss, extra mental stress or anxiety, emotional upset, eating disorder, thyroid problem, PCOD etc.

On NEGATIVE test, I suggest you to undergo one USG lower abdomen and hormone test to rule out other underlying causative agent and confirm the diagnosis.

Kindly, consult with your local gynecologist and take advice accordingly. You may need to take hormonal pill to induce period.

You should control body wt, avoid stress, take healthy low carbohydrate diet with avoidance of fatty food and sleep properly.

Be well and take care.
