Better drink DNA Noni herbal fruit juice, 10 ml twice a day on empty stomach diluted in water. During the day, drink about 2 to 3 liters plain water to flush out toxins from the body. Drink Noni for about 4 to 6 months for better results. For more details, log in to www.dnanoni.com or send me a mail to subbie19@mtnl.net.in
Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic. This delaying of periods can be due to PCOS which you are already suffering from. Other possibility is of course pregnancy. Most home pregnancy tests that check urine beta-HCG are sensitive to 20-25 mIU/ml of HCG. The test can be positive anywhere from about 2-3 days prior to a missed menses to 4-5 days after, but usually it should be done 7-10 days past your missed period. It is not uncommon for women to have negative pregnancy tests when they are pregnant. If the level of hCG is low then you will not return a positive result.
So repeat the tests after 1 week or get serum HCG levels checked which are more sensitive than a urine test.
Hope it helps you. Regards.
