What Causes Stoppage In Periods?

I m 22 years old, married, and have not been taking any steps to prevent pregnancy. My last period was on Sept. 19. I typically have a period every 4-5 weeks. I took a pregancy test on Oct. 30 and it was negative, but still no period. I don t have any signs of morning sickness, cravings, or the typical pregnancy indicators. The only chronic condition I have is ulcerative colitis. Could I have taken the test too early, therefore getting a false negative? I plan on taking another test on Nov. 7. If I still haven t started my period and I still get a negative pregnancy reading, should I make an appointment with a doctor?

Hello,
I have gone through your query. In the current scenario, I would recommend a proper clinical evaluation by an expert along with an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres and a trans-vaginal sonogram to know the status of the pelvic organs. This will help to definitely conclude on the status of your possible pregnancy. If negative, you need to think of hormonal imbalances and a possible flare up of your ulcerative colitis causing disrupted cycles. If this is so, specific management is necessary to correct the situation. Maintenance of a healthy weight is very important. Hope your query has been clarified. Wish you good health.
