What Do Delayed Periods And Negative Pregnancy Test Result Indicate?
Hi.. I am concerned.. my last menstrual cycle was April 27-may 1 and now I m having sore nipples, nausea, and fatigue. I thought I may be prefabricated so I took a home test Which was negative 2 weeks ago. I thought maybe it was too soon but my symptoms keep getting worse and more frequent urination as well. I made a doctors appointment and went today.. the urine test was negative again so I asked doctor for a blood test and she told me I didn t need one I just needed to wait and if my symptoms continue to get worse or I develop.more come back. I am very upset and wwould like to know if I m pregnant because my husband and I have been trying to conceive for a out a year now. I do have a history of ovarian cysts so I am irregular however I have never missed 2 menstrual cycles in a row and I have never had any of these symptoms ...please help

Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
It is difficult to diagnose pregnancy with only symptoms. Symptoms do occur. But it is difficult that you will get them very soon.
One of the earliest and simplest way to know that you are pregnant or not, is by using, urine pregnancy test.
Most experts advise that you should wait at least one day after your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test, though waiting a week is considered best. This can be tough when you are anxious to find out if you're pregnant, but waiting allows for a higher degree of accuracy when taking the test, as hCG levels rise rapidly in pregnant women.
It's best to do the home pregnancy test first thing in the morning, when your urine is most concentrated and hCG levels are highest.
So I advice you to perform a test a week after missed period and with morning sample of urine. This test kits are nearly 98% accurate, so reliable.
With transvaginal ultrasonography, the diagnosis of pregnancy can be made earlier by 4-5 weeks gestation.
Cyst is responsible for causing delayed period and the proper treatment with proper follow up is very essential.
Hope you have got something from this and wish you good health.
Take care
