I have been experiencing symptoms that could indicate pregnancy, including headache, backache, nausea, and fatigue. My period is 10 days late. I took a pregnancy test five days ago and it was negative, and I took another one today which was also negative. I was taking birth control but stopped when I noticed my period was late, hoping it might start. I have scheduled an appointment with my primary doctor, but it is not for another two weeks.

Even if two UPTs were negative, symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and backache still need review. A Serum beta hCG is more sensitive and confirms pregnancy. If still negative, consult your doctor to rule out hormonal delay.

I took a pill on June 30, and since then my menstruation has been irregular. I am now feeling heavy bloating in my stomach, as if something is inside. I had an ultrasound on July 11, which showed nothing except PCOS. I have also done home pregnancy tests three times, the last on July 21, and all were negative. Why am I feeling so full and why is my tummy extended? Should I have another ultrasound? Please advise.

Hello doctor, when is the right time to do a beta HCG test? I got a negative UPT. I was supposed to have my periods on 18th July, but they are irregular due to PCOD. I am on Normoz DS and taking folic acid. Please advise.

My last period was on July 25. I did a beta HCG test on August 25, and the result was 0.4, so I am not pregnant. However, as of August 30, I still have not gotten my period. How can I get pregnant now? My first child is 7 years old.
