Q: pregnancy test hormones
asked by: Amber2011 on April 8th, 2008

I had my last menstrual cycle on January 20th. I was having symptoms that could be pregnancy related and began to get a little worried when February went by and I had no period. I continued to have symptoms like headaches, nausea, back pain, etc. March went by as well, so I decided to buy a home pregnancy test. The one the I bought had two tests in it. I took one on Sunday and it was negative. I waited until the next Saturday to take the next one just in case. Negative again. I am becoming very concerned since April is flying by and still nothing.I also continue to have headaches, nausea, and stomach pain. I was wondering if anyone knew of any reason why the tests wouldn't pick up the pregnancy hormones, or if there could be another reason for my missed periods. Thanks!

you could miss your periods because you are stressing out about it. The best thing to do would be to go the doctors. they can do a blood test and if you are not pregnant, can try to figure out if something else is causing you to miss your period. If both tests cam eback negative, you are most likely not pregnant

A missed period can happen because of many reasons...excessive working out, weight, stress, as well as many other factors. Colie is right. A doctor will help out a lot; they will do a blood test which is EXTREMELY accurate and find out if you are pregnant or not. Although rare, some women's hormones aren't picked up on a pregnancy test when they are pregnant. If you aren't pregnant, the doctors can run some tests to figure out why your period has not come yet.

You should go to your doctors because if you aren't pregnant, then there might be something else keeping you from periods or just stress.
