What Does Missed Period With Negative UPT Indicate?
I had sex at the end of March/beginning of April. I was 4 days late for my period that month and when I did have it it was light and only lasted 4 days when it usually lasts 6 or 7. This month I am once again 4 days late. I took two pregnancy tests after my light period and they were both negative. Do you think I could be pregnant? Should I take another test or go to the doctor?

Hi,
UPT is reliable after 8 days of delay in periods. A test done earlier can not be relied upon. The change in type of bleeding negative pregnancy test repeatedly suggests some menstrual problem. Please consult your gynecologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
