Why Do I Have Painful Periods?

Having received positive results on three home pregnancy tests but negative results on blood tests can be confusing. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional near your to discuss these discrepancies and consider further evaluations for accurate clarification on your pregnancy status.

If your period is late, it’s okay to worry. Stress can throw off your cycle, causing it to be late or even completely miss it. Feeling tired or throwing up could also be symptoms of stress. If you took the morning-after pill and then got your period, you probably aren’t pregnant. It is better to wait a little longer and see if it comes. If your period still hasn’t shown up, take a test just to be sure.

Do take prenatal vitamins, eat healthy foods, and drink plenty of water. Don't smoke, drink alcohol, or take any medicines without consulting your doctor. Common symptoms like nausea and tiredness are mainly due to changes in hormone levels. Furthermore, eating small meals frequently and getting enough rest will be a big step forward in this regard.

Whe­n the beta hCG leve­l is under 5.00 mIU/ml, it means no pregnancy is de­tected. If you think pregnancy's possible, you can re­test later.

It's unlikely that your fiance is pregnant Birth control pills alter hormone levels, which can cause lighter periods. However, if you're still concerned, take a PREGNANCY test or consult a doctor Remember, birth control pills are not 100% effective at preventing pregnancy, so it's important to use additional PROTECTION if you're not ready to conceive. 

If a girl has sex before her expected period and then it comes on, she is likely not pregnant. However, some women may have light bleeding or spotting in the early weeks of pregnancy which can be mistaken for a period. If your girlfriend’s cycle was normal with the usual flow for 3-5 days then she is probably okay. Periods are sometimes irregular due to stress among other things so I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless there are other signs as well.
