What Causes Missed Periods With Negative UPT?

I had a protected sex with my husband but my periods were skipped. Last period was on 17th last month. I tested with the pregnancy kit and it showed negative. However the delay of periods is a concern as am not too sure about the kit result. What should I do ?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You did protected sex and your recent pregnancy test is also NEGATIVE. Therefore, your chance of pregnancy is NIL. If you have any doubt, you can repeat the test for confirmation.

1-7 days late period is NORMAL thing due to mental stress and hormonal imbalance. Other reasons of missed period are ovarian cyst or PCOD, obesity, pelvic infection, high prolactin, irregular diet habit etc.

If you don't get your period after 1 week, some basic investigations like USG lower abdomen, hormone assay, thyroid profile etc are required after proper examination by your gynecologist. You may need to take hormonal pill to induce period.

Take healthy diet, avoid stress, control body wt and maintain genital hygiene. Hope it helps.
