Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If you had unprotected intercourse during the ovulatory period, there is possibility of pregnancy.
Sometimes urine pregnancy test kits may not detect early pregnancy and also some women can have spotting during the pregnancy also.
But we cannot confirm the pregnancy just by symptoms.
So you once go for blood test for pregnancy. That will give more accurate result compared with urine test.
If the blood test comes as negative, the possibility of pregnancy is almost nil.
In that case the possible causes for your problem could be pelvic infection, anemia, hormonal imbalance etc.
Then you consult gynecologist once, get examined and go for ultrasound, hemoglobin levels and if needed thyroid profile to find out the possible cause for your problem and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
