A member asked:

I have a 26 day menstrual cycle i am 3 days late and i took a pregnancy test and results were negative. could i still be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Repeat test: It is unlikely that you are pregnant but a negative test done too soon does not rule out pregnancy. It would be prudent to repeat the test in 3-4 days. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
