Is Delayed Period Sign Of Pregnancy?

Hey, I'm 19 and I have a 10 month old son, ever since I had him my periods have been pretty regular it usually comes on the 23-24 of the month, it's June 1st now and still nothing, I did take a pregnancy test and it came up negative. I know I'm over a week late but I'm still sooo worried! should I just wait it out? I just wanted to ask to reassure myself.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Pregnancy test may be negative as you did early. (HCG is not so high so an to be detected in urine by urine pregnancy kit)
Please wait for period come 4-5 days more and then again do pregnancy test.
But better confirmation should be done by USG scan or blood HCG level that is more accurate than urine pregnancy kit.
Do not worry. If pregnancy is not there, other cause of delayed period like stress, change in dietary habit , elevated prolactin, thyroid disorder and hormonal imbalance and ovarian dysfunction should be rule out.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
