A member asked:
I had 1 day of spotting a week before my period was due but had a negative home pregnancy test the first day of expected period. what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Repeat test: Give yourself another week for the delayed menstrual cycle to resume. If not, repeat urine pregnancy test which should become positive by then. If still in doubt, get a confirmatory blood test at the doctor's office or urgent care. Feel good
