Am I Pregnant Despite Negative Tests and Short Bleeding?
Patient's Query
Hello, Doctor! I am concerned whether I have my menstruation or implantation bleeding because it only lasts for 2 days to fill 2 pads in red color for the whole menstruation. I have done my blood HCG tests 16 days, 23 days and 30 days (21 days after bleeding) after intercourse and also urine tests which are all negative. I have also done my ultrasound 25 days after intercourse. Should I still need to be worried that I am pregnant? Is HCG still too early to detect in blood and urine 30 days after intercourse? Or is it too early for an ultrasound too?
Answered by Dr. Himali Patel
Normally, implantation bleeding is lighter and shorter compared to the usual menstruation flow. A negative HCG test could mean that it’s not a case of pregnancy. The tests may have been carried out too soon for the existence of any pregnancy to be detected. 25 days may also be too soon for an ultrasound. So it's either way too early for these tests or the likelihood is that you are not pregnant. Keep an eye on the symptoms and repeat the test after a week or two for better results.
