Question
Iam from India. question- my periods were due on 18feb, but still i did not get my periods. i have cheqed home pregnancy test, which was negative. iam not having any symptoms of pregnancy. is it possible that iam still pregnant and home pregnancy test's report was wrong?

Answer
Dear Muskaan,
It is possible but very unlikely that the pregnancy test was wrong.  If you don't get your period this week, check it again in one week. Continue to check it weekly for three weeks after your missed period.  If it is still negative, you may want to get a blood test to be 100% sure.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
