Hi,

Negative pregnancy test done after 8 days dealt in (regular) menstruation excludes pregnancy.

Now, the irregularity you have on the menstrual pattern can be hormonal imbalance due to premenopausal, thyroid or ovarian problems, ovulation problems(PCOS) or psychological stress.

You need to evaluate the cause & needful treatment. Please consult a gynecologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
