Could Certain Cases Of Pregnancy Not Be Detected By A Pregnancy Test?
I think and feel I m pregnant but my period is regular. I feel low back pain, cramping in my lower abdominal area and nausea. I also have certain food preferences and aversions. Could certain cases of pregnancy not be detected by a pregnancy test? I have tested negative three times for three months in a row already.

Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
If you are getting regular cycles then you cannot be pregnant. Besides all your urine tests are negative.
Check your blood for hemoglobin levels , thyroid, sugar to rule out other causes.
Thanks.

Hi,
If you have consistently tested negative, it is unlikely that you are pregnant. Your symptoms could be due to a pelvic infection or gastric disorder. If you still believe you are pregnant, you can get serum beta-hCG titre estimation followed by a trans-vaginal sonogram to clarify the issue. Please see a specialist for a proper assessment and further management. You may need a urinalysis and blood counts and some medication to avert the symptoms. Wish you good health.
