Brief Answer:
Wait for 10 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about possibility of pregnancy.

You are not pregnant for sure as your serum beta hCG blood test is negative.

Delayed periods are possibly due to stress, change of place etc..

I suggest you wait for another 10 days for periods to start. If no periods till then, Repeat serum beta hCG blood test.

Let me knowr reports.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Meprate wont kill your baby if pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Meprate contains progesterone hormone and helps to get periods if you are not pregnant.

Meprate won't help in abortion or killing your baby. In any case you are not pregnant. Hence don't worry about taking meprate. Take it.

Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There is absolutely no chance of you being pregnant.

It is not possible to see the pregnancy through scan as there is no pregnancy. You just need to wait for another 10 days for periods to start. Worrying and anxiousness will again delay periods.

You periods are delayed due to temporary hormonal imbalance. You dont need to panic. There is no pregnancy.
