Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to us with your concern.
Consider scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist, who can order a blood pregnancy test, which is more accurate than a urine test.
Pregnancy is possible if you have had unprotected intercourse since your last period.
Depending on your age, a missed period can be an early sign of perimenopause. Generally, a woman enters perimenopause in her 50s, but some women experience changes in their menstrual cycle in their late 40s.
Your symptoms, especially lower back pain that wakes you up, need to be evaluated.
