A pregnancy test looks for certain hormones in the body that are only present when a woman is pregnant. However, these hormones may not be high enough to trigger a positive pregnancy test early on in a woman’s pregnancy.

For this reason, women should wait until they expect their period before they take a pregnancy test. This will offer them the most accurate results. Even though a test may not show positive before this time, this doesn’t mean that a woman will not experience pregnancy symptoms. This is one of the main reasons that a woman may test negative and still have pregnancy symptoms.

Another reason is that many of the symptoms that a woman experiences while she is pregnant are similar to the ones during her monthly menstrual cycle. So, if you are experiencing pregnancy symptoms but have tested negative, it is possible that you are beginning your monthly cycle.

If you feel as though you could be pregnant, but have tested negative, it is best to wait a few days and use a different test to test again. Talking to your doctor about your symptoms is also a great idea as well.
