dont know if i am pregnant.. need advise

Hi friends

I am very confused as of now.. need advise from you ladies.
My periods are close to 4 weeks late... i did a HPT twice (as early s this Sunday) and it came out to be negative. i am really scared if it is pregnancy or something else is wrng with me
i stayed in India for around 3 weeks during this time, and due to a change in my work environment there is a lot of stress in my life also. Some social issues back home in India also came up during this period only. So, i am not sure if the stress and travel and change in life routine could have delayed my periods. I also had a severe cold-cough fever and was on antibiotics during this period.

So, finally a fixed an appt with a Gynie for today...
she did a physical examination but could not say anything for sure as i am not experiencing any typical preganacy symptms also. She has recomended a bllod test and ultrasound for me.

i am really scraed and confused. dont want to share this with my mom also still as she would get worried too. please help me with ur advise dear friends.

Thanks

Hi Tarun,
HPTs can be false negative sometimes, but thats usually in the first week after a missed period. From what you describe its highly unlikely that you are pregnant, but an ultrasound scan and/or blood test will confirm this. More likely that the stress/travel/illness has resulted in a missed cycle. When are your tests scheduled? I would say go for the tests and confirm things one way or the other. If you are not pregnant chances are your periods will resume as usual next mnth. At this point you can only wait...GL!

Hi Tarun,
Instead of getting stressed out, it would be better if you go ahead and do the tests as soon as possible. I think you probably missed a period due to stress, but it is better to have it checked out.
All the best!

Hi tarun,

I had the same problem.I also took antibiotics that time.doctor told it is because of the antibiotics.So i think it is not pregnancy.It may be because of the antibiotic you have taken and also the stress.Do not take too much antibiotics.It is better,if it is not pregnancy as you have taken antibiotics during that period.If you are planning to have a baby,while taking antibiotics please ask your doctor if it would affect your baby.
