Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have read your question fully and understand your concerns.

In some women the urine pregnancy test may not be positive for a few weeks after missing her period. You seem to be having symptoms of early pregnancy.

In such a scenario with a delayed period, the best way to know if you are pregnant or not is by getting a blood test done. The blood tests measures serum Beta HCG, this is the same hormone which is released into the urine (and causes a positive urine pregnancy test).

If the serum beta HCG level is high, then you are very likely to be pregnant. If negligible, then you are not pregnant.

I hope this answer has helped you.

Thank you
Regards
Dr Sunita Sayammagaru
