I have irregular periods and took a urine pregnancy test 21 days after having unprotected sex. What are the chances that this result could be a false negative?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Taking a urine pregnancy test 21 days after unprotected sex usually gives a reliable result, even if your periods are irregular. The chances of a false negative are low if the test was done correctly with an early morning sample. If your period does not start within a week, you can repeat the urine pregnancy test for confirmation. If irregular cycles continue, a thyroid profile and prolactin test may be advised to check for hormonal causes. A serum Beta HCG test may help confirm the diagnosis of pregnancy.

I am under fertility treatment. My last menstrual period was on November 8. I took letrozole from day 2 for 5 days. Follicles developed by day 9 measuring 23 by 17 mm and 21 by 16 mm. Two dominant follicles were there. By day 12 both ruptured. Endometrium thickness was 9 mm. From the next day I started taking Duphaston 10 mg morning and night for 15 days. From that day onwards I have been having spotting. After my 15 days course I stopped Duphaston on December 4. Today is December 12 and almost 9 days are over. My spotting stopped 2 days back but after stopping Duphaston spotting continued for some days. Today I took UPT but it was negative. Is there a possibility to get pregnant in this scenario? It has been 25 days after ovulation. Is it possible to ovulate and have no period or am I pregnant? Kindly clear my doubt and explain in detail about my report. Thank you.

Hi, I had intercourse on 12th July and took an iPill on 13th July. From 15th to 20th July, I experienced heavy bleeding and noticed a brown colored clot on the pad. Since the bleeding ended, I have been feeling severe nausea and pain on the left side of my abdomen. It has been more than 3 weeks now. I am attaching a pregnancy test report that I took 7 days ago. My last period was on 10th June, and my period has not started this month yet. Please suggest if I need to take any further tests.
