Is There Any Chances Of Getting Pregnant With Negative Pregnancy Test?
I'm 44. 5'3" and 115lbs. I have always had regular periods but have now missed the last two. I have slight pain on left side-more like a twinge than a pain. I did a pregnancy test a week ago and one two weeks ago. Both negative. Could I be pregnant or in pre-menopause?

Hi,
Considering your age and two negative pregnancy tests, you are most unlikely to be pregnant. Delay in your menses seems to be due to menopause, may be you are in a premenopausal phase of your life.
In this phase, the menses start becoming irregular and are delayed. The period of delay goes on increasing and subsequently the periods stop permanently. When there are no periods for continuous six months, we label such women as menopausal woman. If you indeed keen to know the status of your menopause, you may get FSH and Estradiol levels done. They will be very low after menopause.
However, I feel it would be unnecessary investigation in the absence of any symptoms. I hope this provides you clarification of your doubts.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
