What Could Pregnancy Symptoms With Negative Result In HPT Indicate?

I have been experiencing just about every pregnancy symptom there is over the last 5-6 weeks, however every urine test I ve taken says negative. My last normal period was June 3rd 2015 and I had very light bleeding on July 2nd and 3rd (which I think could have been implantation bleeding). Could the tests be wrong and I am pregnant?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Pregnancy tests detect the HCG hormone.

This is detectable in pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after possible conception. If the tests were done at this time then they are accurate.

The other causes of delayed or irregular period are:(1)perimenopause
(2)polycystic ovarian syndrome
(3)emotional stress or illness
(4)abnormal levels of the thyroid hormone
(5)physical illness
(6)high levels of prolactin
(7)inadequate diet
(8)intense physical activity
(9)side effect of medication

If the test is truly negative , then one of these other causes would need to be considered.

I hope this helps
