Answer
If your last period started on November 23, a pregnancy test should have shown a positive result by December 27. If two pregnancy test taken after December 27 were both negative, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. A blue tinged cervix ("Chadwick's sign") is an indication of pregnancy, but is very difficult to asses and is not accurate enough to say if you are pregnant based solely on the color of your cervix. If you do not get your period soon, your doctor will give you Progesterone to induce your period. This will not cause any harm to you if you are pregnant. (We used to use that as a pregnancy test. If it did not bring on the period, it was considered a positive test). Usually, after the progesterone, you will get your period within 10 days. Don't worry.
