My periods started on 2nd June. On 22nd June, I took an emergency contraceptive (ipill) after unprotected intercourse. My next period was expected on 3rd July, but it did not come, so I took a home urine pregnancy test on 11th July evening, which was negative. For the past two days, I have been experiencing very dark spotting. What could this mean? Could I still be pregnant, and should I test again?

Ipill can delay periods, cause spotting. Negative test means pregnancy unlikely. Repeat urine test in 2 days (morning urine). See doctor if no period in a week.

I am currently four days late on my period. I took a pregnancy test, but it was negative. I noticed slight cramping a few days before I was supposed to get my period, and I also have slight pain in my side that started recently after being two days late. Should I retest since my period still has not come?

Today is my second day of missed period and I got a positive urine pregnancy test with a clear test line. Is it 100 percent confirmed or should I take some other test?

Hi doctor, we have been married for seven years. We do not have children. After two years, this month my period is delayed by 36 days. I took a home pregnancy test today and it shows negative. I am suffering from severe back pain and hip pain. Is there any possibility of pregnancy? I am having slight pain like menstrual pain.
