I can answer questions about antenatal care, medical problems associated with pregnancy, labor and delivery and postpartum care.
Experience
Currently I am working as a Professor of Obstetrics gynecology, Menofyia University, Egypt. Since 1987, I worked in many university and private hospitals with a high load of pregnant population averaging 7-9,000 deliveries/year. This exposed me to all problems associated with pregnancy, labor and delivery. I had my doctorate degree in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1996 in the use of Doppler ultrasound in high risk pregnancies.

Question
my period is 4 days late having cramps but no spotting or anything took hpt and it came back negative could I still be pregnant?
Answer
Dear Tina
A home pregnancy test may take uo to 2 weeks after your missed period in order to be positive in case of pregnancy. A Transvaginal ultrasound is more sensitive or a determination of beta subunit of hCG may be more appropriate in your case. Both are more sensitive in detecting pregnancy compared to HPT.
