Missed period ... negative test

Post by Sonia »

Hi all,

I am three days late...I did a pregnancy test it was negative. I’m having shoulder pain, and pain comes and goes near my left and right ovary but also am experiencing discomfort in the middle ...
I had ectopic surgery in sept 2018. I’m worried ...
if I am pregnant are these pains normal as I had surgery last year ... I’m really worried...
I will do another pregnancy test in two days...I’m usually on time!
Thank you.... I’m praying it’s all fine ...

Thank you. ( I guess I thought I was pregnant)

Dear Sonia,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss and of your confusing time recently.

Periods can be delayed for a number of reasons including stress or even (as surprising as it may sound) excessive exercise or weight loss. Doctors normally consider menstrual cycles of between 23-42 days to be within normal parameters. I understand that you have been to A&E and hopefully this has reassured you. However I am not medically trained so if you have not had your period after 42 days, I would advise retesting. If it remains negative, but your pain continues, talk to your GP who maybe able to offer hCG as a blood test which h will be more accurate.
Sending much love,

I do hope your ok.

We do know our own bodies better than anyone, so anything untoward does cause concern.

I hope your period comes and resolves your worries but I would keep an eye on things if it doesn’t, especially with you having a previous ectopic xxx
