Children are undoubtedly the flowers of life, but for many women, an unplanned child can be a real stone on the neck, so a delay in menstruation is a serious cause for concern. On the very first day of your missed period, you ran in a panic to get a test, which turns out to be negative. Why did this happen?
Delayed period doesn't always mean pregnancy
This statement especially applies to nulliparous young ladies. The formation of the cycle does not end with the achievement of puberty for everyone, and the absence of menstruation can have many reasons. So why is the test negative on the first day of a missed period?
Don't immediately dump everything on the birth of life inside you, it is important to listen to yourself. Often the human body itself signals to him about the causes of the existing violations of the cycle.
If the test is negative on the first day of the delay, first analyze what effect has been exerted on your body in recent weeks and what exactly youfeel at the moment.
Factors affecting the cycle
It is worth paying attention to factors such as:
- Stress. Blockages at work and school, problems with superiors or in the family. Have you ever felt completely drained and exhausted after a long day lately? If you can remember at least a few such evenings, then this is already a serious cause for concern. The fact is that our body in a state of stress dulls the work of all vital systems, including the production of hormones. Stress manifests itself in a bad mood, as well as indigestion and delayed menstruation. For this reason, on the first day of delay, the test is negative and the stomach does not hurt.
- Strong physical activity. If you are not a professional athlete, unexpected loads can affect the correct functioning of internal organs.
- Ovarian dysfunction. Irregularity of the cycle is the main symptom of this disease, so we can talk about its presence only in case of constant delays.
- Flights and acclimatization. Often, it is precisely because of a change in regimen, time zones and weather conditions that the hormonal system goes into a stressful mode, which manifests itself in a delay in menstruation in women.
- Unhe althy weight. This factor applies to both overweight and overweight women. In this case, the golden mean is the most correct.
- Intoxication. This includes both poisonous substances such as tobacco, alcohol and drugs, as well as heavyillnesses such as influenza and pneumonia.
In addition to all of the above, the absence of menstruation can be explained by various gynecological diseases of the female reproductive system, of which there are a huge number: tumors, endometriosis, inflammation in the urinary-genital system, etc. The presence of anomalies in your orgasm can be easily found out in the gynecologist's office by passing the appropriate tests. It is also worth paying attention to your genetics and ask your mother and grandmother if they ever had problems with the function of the reproductive system.
Medicated causes of missed periods
The regularity of the cycle is strongly influenced by oral contraceptives and emergency contraceptives. These drugs contain a large dose of hormones, which each body can perceive differently. That is why, when choosing medicines, you should not rely on reviews on the Internet and the advice of friends, but rather consult a specialist.
In addition to hormonal drugs, you need to pay attention to other drugs in your first aid kit. Often even banal antidepressants can cause dysfunction of the reproductive system.
And if you are still pregnant?
So why is the test negative on the first day of the delay, if there are no other reasons? Despite the fact that manufacturers assure of the special sensitivity of these miracle sticks, this is not always true. According to many women, the test shows a positive result at least a week after the onset of a missed period.
If you can't wait to find out if you are really pregnant, and the test is negative on the first day of your delay, we recommend stocking up on a few more high-quality tests, preferably from different manufacturers, and checking for several days in the morning. It is in the morning that the level of hormones to which the tests are sensitive is maximum.
It is important to understand that it is your body that can become the exception to the rule, which is why even if you are pregnant, the tests will not give a positive result. In this case, there are other ways to make sure you are in the right place without spending a huge amount of money on daily tests and, last but not least, your nerves.
Alternative ways to recognize pregnancy
Try to listen to your body. At the very beginning of the "position" one can observe acute swelling and soreness of the mammary glands. Undoubtedly, this factor can also signal an approaching period, but many women claim that these sensations are stronger during pregnancy.
Check your basal body temperature. The measurement must be made at rest. In case of pregnancy, it can rise to 37.0-37.3 degrees, but not higher. It is worth noting that such a temperature also signals the onset of a cold, so this factor must be excluded.
Changes in mood and general well-being, including apathy, nausea, vomiting, increased salivation, pain inabdomen and lower back, head, frequent urination, can also signal the onset of pregnancy.
The surest way to check
Despite the accuracy of the tests and the clear signals of the body, not all of these factors help to accurately identify the presence of a living organism inside. There were cases when the test gave a positive result only when a protruding belly appeared in a woman. If it is important for you to find out about the situation in time or plan an abortion, and the test is negative on the first day of the delay, you should visit the gynecologist's office.
Only in hospitals they produce the most accurate tests that are very likely to reveal the onset of pregnancy, as well as an ultrasound procedure that gives an irrefutable result.
Experience and reviews
It would be helpful to hear about the experiences of other women in this situation. You can often find stories that pregnancy was detected long weeks after the start of the first delay.
Girls share their experience, and peeped from close friends and sisters. According to them, sometimes the tests do not show the pregnancy established by the doctor, even for a period of 12 weeks.
Many in the reviews write that conventional tests are ineffective or show a very pale second strip after a time exceeding the time specified in the instructions. Therefore, do not rush to throw away a negative test right away, wait a little longer and take a closer look.
Also, women are often advised to use more expensive electronic tests. Judging by the reviews, they are much more oftenshow reliable results.
