A member asked:

I am 1 week late for my period, sore breasts, nausea, high closed cervix. took a test and came back negative. could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal spotting, or medications. A test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a negative result may be due to testing too early such as less than 2 weeks after conception.
