hi welcome to HCM. ramipril or kidney condition wont affect your home pregnancy test.
hello,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
1st thing generally ramipril is contraindicated in pregnancy due to adverse fetal effect
if you missed your last 3 cycles then you can go for other investigations for the causes of amenorrhea
your age as far higher side . so it may be the menopause started for you
you consult a nearby gynecologist for the possible cause. it may be due to hormonal imbalance also.
take care
