Common pregnancy indicators:

• Late period
• Tender or swollen breasts

• Nausea or vomiting
• Fatigue
• Lightheadedness or fainting
• Backaches
• Food cravings or aversions
• Darkening of the nipples

Can I have a retest if my test is negative and my period doesn’t start?

Yes, you may reschedule for another test. The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (better known as hCG) is produced during pregnancy. It is made by cells that form the placenta, which nourishes the egg after it has been fertilized and becomes attached to the uterine wall. Levels can first be detected by a blood test about 11 days after conception and about 12 - 14 days after conception by a urine test. In general the hCG levels will double every 72 hours. The level will reach its peak in the first 8 - 11 weeks of pregnancy and then will decline and level off for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Should I see a doctor if I have a second negative test and have not started my period?

If you have concerns about missed periods and your pregnancy test continues to be negative, you should see your health care provider for assessment. If you need resources for health care, our center can provide you with referrals.
