period 4 days late, pregnancy test negative. should i be worried?

Question

Im four days late with my period and having all of the symptoms of pregnancy but im still getting negative test results could I still be pregnant?

Answer 1

Tests are accurate: In a woman with regular periods, some causes of a late period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (such as hormone pills), hormonal imbalances, being near menopause, etc… Seeing a doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurrent, or worsening. No worries yet.

Answer 2

Possibly: Though modern home pregnancy tests are very accurate, and if you are past your usual period, then you may have simply skipped a period this cycle. Check another in a couple of days, and if you still have not started, see your physician.

Answer 3

Sure: Repeat home pregnancy test in a week using a first morning void.

Answer 4

Late Period: It would be unlikely to be pregnant after 3 pregnancy test. It is never abnormal to have an irregular cycle once in a while. If the cycle does not start soon, then i would get in and get checked. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Blood test for HCG: If you had sex since your last period, you may wish to get a blood test for HCG level to settle the issue. . If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD. Consult this site. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx

Answer 6

Yes : While the pregnancy tests are very accurate there is a chance they could be wrong.

Answer 7

Yes: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully

Answer 8

Urine vs. Blood test: Home pregnancy test should be done about a week after the first missed period or on oct 29 or so. You may see your doctor for a blood test 2-3 days after the missed period.

Answer 9

You may but it may : Be too soon to provide a meaningful answer. Home pregnancy test usually becomes positive about a week or more after a missed period. Blood test is more sensitive but even that should be used 2-3 days after a missed period.

Answer 10

Well, sure: You can, but chances are you won't be pregnant. The time of highest fertility is just before ovulation, which is about 2 weeks before your period. Pregnancy tests will be positive if you are pregnant, on or around the day you would start your period. If you had sex around ovulation and it has only been 8 days, you have another week to go before the test is likely to be positive.
