Could I Still Be Pregnant Despite Having Spotting Along With Negative UPT? 

I have Hypothyroidism, but am taking the proper medication to stabilize it. However, I miss my last period, only minimal spotting. I took a pregnancy test 6 weeks in and it was negative for some reason. Could it be possible I am pregnant still? I have all of the symptoms of pregnancy. What do you think?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Ovulation can be a bit delayed in hypothyroidism, and hence the conception is delayed, hence the urine pregnancy test becomes positive a bit delayed.
I suggest you to repeat your urine pregnancy test after one week, if still negative, then you should get your hormonal profile done including thyroid hormone levels done.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
