What Causes Feelings Of Movement In Lower Abdomen, Lighter Periods Though Pregnancy Test Were Negative?

I have been having feelings of movement in my lower abdomen for about 2-3 weeks now. Strongest at night when I'm in bed of when I'm sitting quietly. I've had somewhat regular periods (a couple of days late) but they have been a lot lighter than normal. I've been EXHAUSTED the last month and can never seem to get enough sleep. I took a pregnancy test because of the movement but it came up negative. Is there a chance it's wrong?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If you had unprotected intercourse around the time of ovulation, there is possibility of pregnancy.
Sometimes urine pregnancy test kit may not detect early pregnancy also.
But scanty flow during periods can occur due to other causes also.
Like hormonal imbalance due to stress and strain, weight changes, general causes like anemia, thyroid abnormalities etc.
So, once go for blood test for pregnancy.

If test comes negative, consult gynecologist and go for investigations like ultrasound, thyroid profile, prolactin levels, hemoglobin levels, blood sugar levels etc.
With this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
Take care.
