I am 30 years old and have a 9 year old son via C section. I am planning for a second baby. My last period was on February 7, and I have not gotten my period since. I have taken multiple pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. However, I am experiencing bloating, dizziness, food cravings, strong smells, and occasional nausea. I feel like I might be pregnant. How can I confirm whether I am pregnant? Please advise

Symptoms may be due to hormonal imbalance, not always pregnancy. Do a Beta hCG blood test if still no periods. If negative, test hormones like TSH, Prolactin, FSH. Stress or PCOS can delay periods too.

Take a BETA HCG (TOTAL) Test or Take a THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test

My girlfriend last menstrual period was on 27th April, and her cycle is usually 45 to 48 days. We had intercourse in May. She took a 5 day course of Meprate 10 mg to try to bring her period early, but it has not started. While on the medication, she took a home pregnancy test, which showed a very faint, almost colorless line (possibly an evaporation line). She repeated the test after 5 days, and it was negative. Could she still be pregnant?

I took Regesterone 5 mg twice daily for 13 days to postpone my periods. It has been 10 days since I stopped the medicine, but I have not gotten my period yet. I only had a little spotting on the 5th day. My urine pregnancy test is negative. What should I do?

I took a Prega News test. There was a dark line on C and a faint line appearing above C, but no line on T. What does this result indicate?
