Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
At 4 days overdue, the pregnancy test may be negative. Since you are feeling a pressure with a dull ache in the right lower abdomen, ectopic pregnancy needs to be ruled out.
In such a case, you can test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also then I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests.
Further investigations like ultrasound scan may be needed in case the serum hcg levels are raised.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
