A member asked:

Light and short period, and pregnancy symptoms but negative test? tested after period started. could i have ovulated late?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: It's unlikely that you are pregnant given your period started on time and you tested after your period started. Even if you ovulated late, if you were pregnant, it would be positive by now. 99% not pregnant
