What Are The Early Pregnancy Signs?

I am 20 days late and today makes 8 weeks from the first day of my last period. I took a blood test a few weeks ago and it was negative. I took a hpt today and it was negative. Could it still be to early for the hot to show up positive ? I have been feeling very tired and sick.

Hallow Dear,

If even after 8 weeks from last menstrual period your urine pregnancy tests are negative, you are not pregnant. The delay in your period could be due to some hormonal imbalance - could be reproductive hormones or could be Thyroid dysfunction.

Please get your blood examined for FSH, LH, Progesterone, Oestrogen, Prolactin, T3, T4 and TSH. Depending upon the values and the diagnosis, the treatment will have to be planned.

Meanwhile, you may take some progestational preparation like Deviry for 5 days; 4-7 days later you will get withdrawal bleeding.

Though missing a period is the cardinal symptom of pregnancy, pregnancy is not the only cause for missing a period. You have to get investigated to find out the cause of your delayed menses. Please report to your Gynaecologist.

I hope this helps you.
