I'm 15 days late and got a negative pregnacy test. Is it possible i could still be pregant?

Question:

My last period started on 8/7/06, and its now 9/21/06. I took a test on 9/18/06 and it came out negative.

Answers:
To answer your questions, yes you could still be pregnant. However, there are many reasons why a woman missed or stops menstruating, many stress related. I would suggest redoing the test in about a week if you are using the store bought home kits.

Keep in mind, that pregnancy tests can show a negative effect, even if you are pregnant. An ectopic pregnancy, (pregnancy which occurs in the Fallopian tubes) might not register on a home kit.

I don't want to alarm you, but I do want to give you an objective opinion. Usually home based kits ARE very effective, except in cases of ectopic pregnancies. These at home kits, have become so fine tuned, that the day of a missed period, it can detect hormones, that can be detected. However, nothing is 100%.

I am not a medical doctor, but my opinion would be that you wait another week, and see if your period returns to normal. If it doesn't, retest. (Sometimes worry/anxiety can throw off a period.) At that point, it is time to schedule a doctor's visit.

Yes. Wait a few days to take another test.

If you want to be even more sure, go to the clinic and have some blood work done. That is more reliable.

retail bought pregnancy tests are highly ineffective. You should be checked by a professional for true results.
