Ive taken a pregnancy test and it was negative. What could be the cause? how many missed periods before i should see a doctor? im normally very very regular.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Since your period was missed by more than 10 days and your pregnancy test is negative, it would be best to get a blood hCG level to rule out pregnancy for sure. If that is also negative it's possible you have hormonal disorder like PCOD. A Gynaecologist consult is essential as you will need to be examined and also need to get an ultrasound to aid in diagnosis and proper treatment.
