What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Having Negative UPT?
Hi. I am am39 year old female w/one side tubal ligation. My period has been very regular my entire life. I am now 13 days late with my period and I took a home pregnancy test 3 days ago and it was negative. I have been very sleepy for the past week or so. No other symptoms. Can I be pregnant?

Hi welcome to health care magic ..
Your period delayed for 13 days and urine pregnancy test negative , so don't worry for pregnancy because if conception occurs than card test positive usually during this time period
Rule out thyroid problem by serum TSH and Free T4 estimation
Also check diabetes problem by RBS estimation
Excess exercise , stress , obesity , prolonged fasting can lead delayed period ..
Take healthy and balanced diet...
If no cause found from above work up than USG abdomen and hormonal profile done
Take care
Consult gynecologist for examination
