What Causes Delayed Period Along With Negative UPT?
Hello. My hubby and I are trying to conceive. I am almost a week late, took a pregnancy test, it's negative. I have all the "signs" of pregnancy but the test is negative. Should I make an appointment to see my Dr or wait a few more weeks before taking another test? Thanks.

Hello,
Sometimes concentration of hormones in urine is weak and hence one can get a negative pregnancy test inspite of being pregnant.You should repeat the test after a gap of 5-6 days and preferably you take the morning urine sample for pregnancy test as it contains maximum concentration of hormones.
In case it is still negative,then ypu can consult your doctor.
Other than pregnancy,there can be various other reasons for delay in periods like stress,recent illness,excessive activity or change of schedule etc.
Thanks
