Is Low Menstrual Flow Sign Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I was expecting my period last around last Tuesday. It is now over a week late. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests. The first one I thought I could see a very very light blue line when I tilted it on an angle. But the other 2 were clear blue digital, I took one yesterday morning and one today and both said not pregnant. Is it possible that I am pregnant and the tests can't pick up my hcg levels yet? My last 2 periods were February 15th for 5 days and March 19th for 5 days. So I'm usually about 30 days apart. So this one is very late.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Considering the fact that you had three successive negative home pregnancy tests, further clarification can be had through an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres coupled with a trans-vaginal sonogram. The blood test gives conclusive idea when the urine hormone levels are inadequate to show up in the test. The sonogram gives the status of the pelvic organs and if pregnant, the location of the gestation sac can be seen along with the age of the pregnancy. Hope this helps.
