Is Pregnancy Possible Despite A Negative Pregnancy Test Result?

Hi,I am 17 days after IUI,didn t have any drugs leading to IUI or anything afterwards,everything went really well naturally. I ve done my pregnancy test today and it was negative. My clinic told me to test on 21st day,but I couldn t wait and tested. My period is 3 days late and that never happens as it s always on time. So that gives me a hope little a bit. Do you think I can still be pregnant or should I ring my clinic? Thank you Olivia

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I can understand your anxiety. Better to follow that was given by your clinic people and test for pregnancy at around 21 face after i u i. Because sometimes early pregnancy may not be detectable with Urine Pregnancy Test kit and they may give false negative results. So, now what you can do is wait for one more week and repeat the Urine Pregnancy Test or you can go for blood test for pregnancy now, which can give more accurate and early result compared with Urine Pregnancy Test kit. If the blood test for pregnancy shows beta HCG levels more than 25 Milli International units per ml there is possibility of pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
