It has been 16 days since I missed my period, and one week ago I took a pregnancy test which came back negative. However, I am experiencing all the symptoms of pregnancy. Should I retest to confirm?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

If you have missed your period and are experiencing pregnancy symptoms despite a negative test result, it is possible that you tested too early or that the test was not sensitive enough to detect the hormone levels in your body. It is recommended to wait a few more days and then retest using an early morning urine sample, as it contains higher concentrations of the pregnancy hormone hCG. Alternatively, you can visit your healthcare provider for a blood test which can provide more accurate results. Remember that stress, hormonal imbalances, or other factors can also cause similar symptoms to those of pregnancy. If you continue to experience uncertainty or concerns, it is best to consult with your healthcare professional for further guidance and support.
