Hi,
It might be because of hormonal imbalance so a fresh profile may be sought. For reassurance regarding pregnancy, beta HCG in blood can be done as more sensitive marker, and ultrasound pelvis may be helpful. Meanwhile a gynecologist review may be sought for further work up.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
