Brief Answer:
various causes should be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia, polycystic ovarian disease, Cushings syndrome or stress.
If your urine pregnancy test is negative, then pregnancy is ruled out. However, sometimes the ovulation is delayed and hence the conception is delayed, therefore the urine pregnancy test comes positive a bit delayed.
I would suggest you to repeat the urine pregnancy test after one week.
Headache and sickness can be present in early pregnancy, however can also be due to other causes like migraine.
You need to get your hormonal profile and tultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis, in case the pregnancy is ruled out.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly. You should also consult a physician for headache and sickness.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr Deepti Verma
