Brief Answer:
Delayed pregnancy not due to pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns about possibility of pregnancy.

It does not seem to be pregnancy as the pregnancy test is negative.

This appears to be non pregnancy reason of delayed periods. This happens once in a while when there is stress, change of place, personal problems etc..

I suggest you wait for 2 more weeks before going ahead with another pregnancy test. If still negative pregnancy test after 2 weeks, you can take progesterone medicines to induce periods.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Brief Answer:
Negative pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I had discussed same with you. There is no possibility of pregnancy.

Blood test is the first to become positive. If this is negative means there is no pregnancy chances now or even after 2 months.

This is just delayed periods. You will get periods soon. Wait for sometime without any medicines.

Let me know if you have anymore queries.

Dr. Soumya
