Is there a chance for pregnancy even if HPT was negative 2 days back?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

It has been 27 days since I missed my periods. My last period was almost two months back. I was feeling sick and slight spotting was noticed for three days. I had breast pain for more than eight days, but now the pain has reduced. 19 days back doctor said follicle is observed. So, periods may commence in a week's time, if not he advised me to go for a pregnancy test. Two days back I took a home pregnancy test (HPT) turned out to be negative. I am feeling very uneasy. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your problem.

If follicles were observed 19 days back then you still have time for period to occur. Did you take any hormonal pills? If yes then breast pain and late period may be due to that. You should wait for another week. If still no periods and urine test too negative then you will need further tests.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your last period was almost two months back. So, by this time pregnancy test should have become positive if there is pregnancy. Hence, chance of pregnancy is low though it is rarely possible if there is a late conception.
