HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Pregnancy tests can be urine or blood tests.Your doctor can do either.
If you did the urine pregnancy test 11 to 14 days after possible conception then it is likely accurate.
If it was done before this time then it should be repeated.
Other causes of delayed period are: (1) emotional stress or illness
(2)abnormal levels of thyroid hormone
(3)physical illness
(4)high prolactin hormone
(5)inadequate diet
(6)polycystic ovarian syndrome
Blood tests for thyroid hormone levels, prolactin and to check for polycystic ovarian syndrome can be done if the period does not come.
I hope this helps
