Can A Pregnancy Test Be Negative But I Still Miss My Period?

I haven t had a period in almost four months (I only spotted once not even enough to use a tampon) I ve taken pregnancy tests and they have all been negative. But here lately I have started feeling a pulsing sensation in my upper abdomen. I only really notice it when I m laying down. What could this be?

Hi,
Yes in many conditions pregnancy test is -ve still periods are missed.( PCOD, Ovarian cyst, thyroid problems, sever weakness are some examples)
* The pulsation you feel normally in upper abdomen is due to a main blood vessel ( Aorta)that crosses this area to supply blood to lower body.It can be noted in a thin built person/when a person lies down flat on back .
It is advisable to consult a physician & get examined to exclude certain problems of Aorta.
* you have 4 months amenorrhea,your doubt can be cleared by USG abdomen/ the possible causes for irregular periods can then be investgated with an expert gynecologist
Thanks.
