Hello.
I am a 17 yr old female. I have missed my last 2 periods and the third one is coming up soon.
I have been feeling very tired over the last week or so and I have sudden sickly feelings at least twice a day for the past few days. Ive taken a couple tests which have come back as negative. (Though I have been told that time of month/day and such have effects on the test. I may have done them wrong :S) I plan on taking one the day before my expected next period date (18th April). If my period does not come again I am planning on seeing my doctor. Any advice on what I could be experiencing, or what the doctors will do? Also, what effects the tests reliability?
Thank you for reading this :)
Hope to hear back of you soon.
Shannon

False negatives are very common with home pregnancy tests. The best time to take them is with first morning urine, but even then a false negative can happen. There are women that never get a positive with an at home test, despite the fact that they are pregnant.

I would urge you to get a blood test done at this time.

Thank you :) Ive heard that home pregnancy tests may be false. I will do!

I wish you luck. Let me know how it turns out. You should know that blood tests aren't always 100% either, but they are more accurate than an at home urine test.

If the blood test comes back negative than I'd suggest an ultrasound. At 2 months late, soon to be 3, an ultrasound will definitely tell you if you're pregnant or not. But first you should try a blood test.

I will let you know. With all that time I've been making decisions which I know would change my life. Id be kind of saddened if I weren't pregnant after all this time.
I will get all the tests I can :) Thanks again.
