What Causes Difficulty In Conceiving While Having Regular Periods?

Hi. I'm trying to get pregnant and have regular periods lasting 28 days. The lh test confirmed the ovulation, I' m 3 days late, but the pregnancy test was negative.I took it when I was one day late, in the afternoon, and the producer statet it could detect 4 days before the period. Is it still possible that I am pregnant? I am very stressed, but I guess I have to get a period if ovulate.Thank you, Martina

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Pregnancy test will give positive result once your period will delay by more than 7 days. You did test just 1 day after delayed period so high chance of false negative test.
I would suggest to wait for period.
If period will delay by more than 7 days then go for urine pregnancy test.
You can also go for blood HCG test. It is more accurate and detect pregnancy just 10 days after unprotected sex.
You you have problem in conceiving then consult gynecologist and undergo reproductive hormone analysis, USG scan, ovarian follicle study, HSG test to identify any problem in female fertility factor.
Make sure that semen parameter of male partner is also with in reference range.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
