A member asked:

I have had sore breasts and cramps for a week and my period is late. i tool a home pregnancy test and i am not pregnant. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Miscarriage: Could be missed miscarriage. Could also be a ovarian cyst or hormone imbalance. Home preg test are good but not 100%. I would get a blood test and ultrasound to see what's going on. Could also be meds, stress or a mass in ovary or uterus.
