As : As doctors, anytime a fertile, sexually active woman has an abnormally light or missed period, the first thing we do is rule out pregnancy. That being said, there can be other reasons for a missed period such as stress, poor diet, weight loss, extreme exercise or hormone imbalance such as thyroid disorders or polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). You can either take another home pregnancy test as long as it has been 5- 6 weeks since your last normal period, or you can go see your doctor and they can test you. A home pregnancy test is 97% accurate if taken a week or more after the missed period, so another negative test would help confirm that you are not pregnant. A blood test can tell if you are pregnant as soon as 7 days after conception and a doctor's urine pregnancy test can tell if you are pregnant around when you next period should come.

Yes: It would actually be early for pregnancy symptoms. You can take a home pregnancy test to know.

See below: Agree with Dr. Fowler. If the pregnancy test is negative repeat it in 4-5 days. Wish you good health!
