General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern
Absence of period since from long time is not normal.
Following are the cause of equivocal results:
Ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy), low HCG level, did tests in wrong way.
Now I would suggests to consult the gynecologist and undergo blood HCG and USG scan to confirm the above cause.
In absence of pregnancy, period can be induced by progesterone injection/tablets.
Ectopic pregnancy should be removed by surgery.
In low HCG, HCG injection and progesterone should be given to maintain the pregnancy in absence of any detected abnormality.
Take proper rest, healthy diet with iron and folic acid supplements.
Hope this may help you

Contact HCM for further health issue.
Best regards
