Is Delay In Menstrual Bleeding A Sign Of Pregnancy?
Question: I got my periods last on 3/12 2015 which lasted for 4 days. I had unprotected sex thrice atleast with my partner. I have till now not got my periods. I took home pregnancy test ans it has come negative. What do I do
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy not likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If the home pregnancy test is negative then pregnancy is ruled out. The delay in periods can be due to a mild hormonal imbalance or stress or anxiety or change in dietary habits. If you have got 3-4 small clots already then you are likely to have your periods in next few days. It is best to wait for a week more and in case the periods still do not start then do consult a gynecologist for proper hormonal treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
