Study Notes
Menstrual Cycle and Pregnancy
- Missed period can have several reasons, and a negative pregnancy test result does not necessarily mean the individual is not pregnant
- Negative pregnancy test results can be inconclusive, especially if taken too early or if the test is not sensitive enough
- A possible explanation for negative pregnancy test results is that the individual may be pregnant, but the hormone levels are not yet detectable
Important Considerations
- It is essential to wait for a few days after missing a period to take a pregnancy test for accurate results
- False negatives can occur, and a repeat test or a blood test may be necessary to confirm pregnancy or rule out other possibilities
