Can A Pregnancy Test Be Negative But Still Have Missed Periods?
Hello doctor, I had unsafe intercourse with my bf on 7 march and I had unwanted 72 after 11 hours. My last periods date was 1 march but on 13 there was bleeding for 3 days. I did home pregnancy test on 2 April and it is negative. But till now I did notgot my periods. I want to ask u dat till when I will get my periods. Is dere any chance of pregnancy??
After you have taken the emergency pill for unwanted pregnancy your hormones and menstrual cycle may have changed. You had 3 days of bleeding on march 13th, so next periods may be expected after a month from this time.
Pregnancy test may result negative sometimes (fals negative result) so you better repeat the test. Two negative tests are indicative for not being pregnant.
However if your periods are missing for a long time, more than one month after last bleeding, do an uterine ultrasound to ensure yourself.
Take care and all the best for you! Dr Eriol.
