I am currently trying to conceive. I have become pregnant once which unfortunately ended in a miscarriage. I am now 2 cycles after the miscarriage and I am due my period today but it hasn t arrived. I have taken a home pregnancy test today but it appears to be negative. I do not feel like my period is approaching, I have not experienced any post menstrul symptoms. I have been getting slight twinges/pulling in my lower abdomen and I have a strange feeling just under my rib cage where my diaphragm is. Could there be a chance I am actually pregnant and it s just that my hcg levels aren t high enough to register on a home pregnancy test yet?

HI, I have read your query carefully, & agree your concern. - I wish you would be pregnant this time. - Pregnancy test of urine is +ve after 8 days of delayed periods. Blood test can be detected earlier- a couple of days around the expected date of periods. - If you get itr +ve consult your doctor immediately- to start with hormone supplements & avoid abortion this time. Even if the test is not positive, don't get discouraged. You will conceive soon - as once it has happened, it will happen again! Thanks.
