What Could Pregnancy Symptoms With Delayed Periods And Negative HPT Result Indicate?

i, I have now missed my last 2 periods bur have been getting pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and increased appetite but the pregnancy test I did came up negative. It s very unusual for me to be late on my periods however I gave birth to my daughter 6 months ago now. Could I still be pregnant even though the test came up negative?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello,
i can understand your concern.
i would like to know if this is the only period you missed after child birth or you havent got your periods after the child birth.
you can have lactational amenorhea due to breast feeding which is seen after child birth.
urine pregnancy tests can some times be negative as the elevated hcg levels sometimes tend to take a longer time to reflect in the urine samples.
so , if you are having unprotected sex there is still a chance of you getting pregnant.
i would suggest repeat the urine pregnancy test again in a few days and an ultrasound pelvis to be done since its more than eight weeks since you got your periods.
hope i have answered your queries.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
