A member asked:

I have had mild cramping that feels like my period is coming ever sense ovulation, took a pregnant test and it said negative. could i still be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you haven't missed a period, it may be too early to determine if you are pregnant. When you miss your period, take a test and if it's still negative, then likely you're not pregnant unless your cycles are longer than 35 days. Mild cramping can be a sign of pre-menstruation, so it's often difficult to discern between the two.
