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.

I have skipped my periods this month and I am sexually active. There was a day when I saw some blood and after that there has been no sign, and I have not got my period. I did a urine pregnancy test and it was negative. There was a time when I had unprotected sex but I took a pill immediately the next day. Why is this happening? Is it normal?

My period has been missing for the past 1 month and I have been sick for the past 2 days. I just got my blood report, and everything is normal except my ESR, which is 100 mm/h. Is this a sign of pregnancy?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I usually have a 26 day cycle. I am taking medicine for pregnancy and last month the doctor gave me progesterone Susten after egg rupture. Last month I got my period on 7th. As per my cycle, I was supposed to get my period this month on 3rd, but I still have not got it. Usually, I see brown spotting two days before my period. This time there are no symptoms of period, but I have mild cramps and leg pains for the last two days. Does this mean I am pregnant? When can I do a pregnancy test?
