My last menstrual period was on April 24. We had unprotected intercourse on April 28, and I took an emergency contraceptive (ipill) on April 29. My period has still not arrived. I have taken five home pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. I consulted a doctor, who prescribed Meperate, and I have been taking it for the past three days, but my period has not started yet. I am feeling worried.

Emergency pills can delay your periods by several weeks due to hormonal changes. Since all your pregnancy tests are negative, its unlikely youre pregnant. Meprate doesnt cause periods during the course bleeding usually starts 7 to 10 days after finishing the full dose. Wait till then.

My last period came on 1st February. On 1st March, I had severe pain with a little pinkish discharge, and after two days, a red spot appeared. Pregnancy test and urine test were negative. Today is 8th March, and my period has not come. What should I do? Am I pregnant or not? What is the reason for the negative test?

My girlfriend last menstrual period was on 27th April, and her cycle is usually 45 to 48 days. We had intercourse in May. She took a 5 day course of Meprate 10 mg to try to bring her period early, but it has not started. While on the medication, she took a home pregnancy test, which showed a very faint, almost colorless line (possibly an evaporation line). She repeated the test after 5 days, and it was negative. Could she still be pregnant?

Hi, today is the 12th day after IVF. Can I do a urine pregnancy test at home now? I have heard that sometimes urine test results may differ from a blood beta hCG test. Which test would be more reliable at this stage?
