Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for coming to us with your concern.
If you have had unprotected sex since your last period, there is a chance that you are pregnant. When did you take the pregnancy test that should a negative result?
You have two options. You could repeat the home pregnancy test- checking the expiration date on the package, reading and following the directions carefully, and test using the first urine of the morning.
You could contact your gynecologist to have a blood pregnancy test ordered and done. A blood pregnancy test is more accurate than the urine test.
Levels of hCG, which is the hormone produced only during pregnancy, can be detected in blood about 11 days following conception and in urine about 12 to 14 days after conception.
