Confused by the doctor - surely I can’t be pregnant?

[Concerned22]

I'm on the pill but I know that last month I missed 2 pills within the first 7 days, but before I realised this I had also done the deed at a key time around ovulation. I then was worried for the next two weeks that I may be pregnant, experiencing pain in my womb that felt like mild cramps and feeling sick. I took a pregnancy test (early detection) and it came back negative and a few days later I got my period. Phew.
I have since felt quite unwell, not being able to focus / concentrate as well as usual and my mood swings / mh has been very poor. I've had very low mood and I have burst into tears for no reason for a good half an hour before I've been able to calm down. My appetite has been very off which is not like me and I've also felt quite light headed and sick, more so in the evenings. Last night at around 04:30 am I was actually sick.
I had to speak to the doctor about my MH and feeling unwell and whilst I was explaining all of the above to the doctor, she said to me "are you sure you're not pregnant" and I explained that I had tested negative and had my period and I'm on the pill, but I had done a test because I was worried before I got my period because I had messed up my pill a bit. She told me that some people still get their periods if they are pregnant on the pill and that I need to test again in a week.
I tested straight after the phone call and got a negative again. I definitely can't be pregnant, right?
Thank you in advance.

Well yes technically, you could be. Could just have been too early when you took the test. Only way to know for sure is to take a another one.

If you have tested again and it’s negative I would say it’s unlikely

Very very unlikely. The first seven days aren’t usually fertile days for a woman and even though sperm can live for several days, I’d feel pretty confident all was ok and I desperately do not want to get pregnant.

Surely the second test was sufficient.

Sorry I didn't read the last bit properly, I didn't realise you tested again after the phone call. My bad

Sounds like the gp saying 🤷‍♀️.

Hormones do weird things...

I don’t get positives for ages when I test. I’m pregnant now and tell by my symptoms rather than a test (I do test but always says negative), then confirm with a positive (finally) about 3+ months in. My GP says unusual but normal to get false negatives.

@MagpieSong how weird. It does happen though to a tiny minority.

Do you also get negative bloods when pregnant??

I presume you don’t get your period though? I know mine technically isn’t a period it’s a withdrawal bleed, but I’m also not meant to ovulate and get ovulation pain every month so I have no idea what’s going on!!
