What Are The Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

I have missed my period by a week now but i have taken 5 tests in the past 2 weeks and they still all say negative i have been having pain in my lower abdoman for about 5 days but i have never had period pain before and the symptoms i have at the moment i have never had during or before my period. Is there something wrong? I have type 2 diabeties and take medication can this affect my hcg results? Is there a posibility that because im thinking about it too much that this could be the reason why i think im pregnant?

Hi,

Pregnancy tests done on the expected day of period and onward are only valid. Since you have been doing them for past 2 weeks, but your date was expected just a week ago, this could lead to confusion and agony.
Please do let me know when was your last test done .
Diabetis or its medications do not affect the pregnancy test in any way.
Also all this stress must be getting to you.
So, I would advise you just continue taking your diabetic medications and repeat a urine pregnancy test tomorrow morning. If it is negative see a gynecologist who will give you tablets to get menses (called progesterone tablets. And if positive, also do see a doctor as pregnancy with diabetes will require special care.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
