What Causes Pregnancy Symptoms With Negative HPT?

Wondering if I am pregnant... I am experiencing pregnancy symptoms including what I think might be implatation bleeding but the hpt is negative. I don't know if my period is actually late because it comes at different times each month. Sometimes as early as 21 days or as late as 34 days! Can it just be too early to tell?

Hello, and i hope I can help you today.

Any woman who is having unprotected intercourse is at risk for pregnancy.

However, pregnancy symptoms vary widely between women, and many of the same symptoms we commonly associate with pregnancy such as nausea, bloating, breast tenderness, headaches and irregular bleeding can also happen from an irregular menstrual cycle as well as pregnancy.

So there is no way to know if you are pregnant solely based on symptoms.

The most common sign of pregnancy, however, is missing your period.

So if you have not missed a period, it is unlikely that you are pregnant, and since your pregnancy tests have been negative, your symptoms are likely due to a hormonal imbalance rather that pregnancy.

So if you have irregular periods, it would be reasonable to consider seeing a GYN doctor for an evaluation and some hormone tests. Then the doctor may be able to suggest treatment for your irregular cycles, and, if you desire, help you to try to conceive.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.

Best wishes,

Dr. Brown
