I am 10 days late for my period. I did a urine pregnancy test, a blood beta hCG test (less than 1.26), and an ultrasound, all came back negative. Could I still be pregnant? I am very worried. Also, my hemoglobin is low at 7 (normal 12 to 15). If my hemoglobin level improves in the future, could that make a pregnancy test turn positive?

Negative urine, blood, USG means not pregnant. Low Hb can delay periods, not test results. Eat iron rich foods, take supplements. Periods may improve as Hb improves. Repeat CBC in 2 to 3 months.

Question

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?

Question

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?

Question

I have a 28 day cycle, but today is the 31st day, and I have not yet gotten my period. We have been trying for a baby for the last few months. Is this missed period a sign of pregnancy? After how many days of a missed period should a home pregnancy test be done?
