My last period came on 1st February. On 1st March, I had severe pain with a little pinkish discharge, and after two days, a red spot appeared. Pregnancy test and urine test were negative. Today is 8th March, and my period has not come. What should I do? Am I pregnant or not? What is the reason for the negative test?

A late period with negative pregnancy tests usually means you are not pregnant. The pain and pink discharge could be early period signs or hormonal imbalance. Stress, weight change, or travel can delay periods too. To be sure, take a blood beta hCG test its more accurate than urine. If still negative, your period may come soon.

I am 38 years old and trying for my second baby. I usually ovulate late, and my gynecologist prescribed Duphaston and Ecosprin after ovulation. I have missed my period and tested on the 3rd day after my due date, but the result was negative. From the 5th day onward, I have been experiencing spotting and passing dark brown clots daily. Could I still be pregnant, and should I take another pregnancy test?

Tomorrow will be the 25th day since my last period. Can I take a home pregnancy test or a beta hCG blood test at this stage? Please guide me.
