If all the tests are negative for pregnancy, and if they were not done too early, you must accept that you are not pregnant.
Linea nigra, which is a dark vertical line between your belly button and pubic area, is always there. It appears darker around week 25 of a pregnancy. The changes in hormones that occurs during pregnancy are responsible for this chance.
This line, which is always there, is called linea alba. During pregnancy, it is called linea nigra.
Generally, a transabdominal ultrasound is done around week 8 of the pregnancy.
In general, a blood hCG pregnancy test is more sensitive than urine tests and can be done two days before a woman would expect her period to start. A urine or blood hCG test can be done reliably by 10 days after a missed menstrual period.
