Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
If the pregnancy test was negative, meaning you were not pregnant, the MTP kit would not work.
LEt me know a few more details so that I can guide you.
Are your cycles generally regular ?
What date did you take the pregnancy test ?
How many days back have you taken misoprostol and mifepristone ?
What is your height and weight ?
Have you ever skipped periods earlier ?
Do any of the following conditions apply to you - stress, weight changes, travelling, anxiety, smoking, drinking, late nights, erratic eating etc ?
Please do write back with more details.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
A DOCTOR HAS TO BE SEEN, THERE IS NO WAY OUT

Detailed Answer:

The MTP kit will not work if you are not pregnant.
There could be other reasons for the menstrual delay - stress, anxiety, weight changes, exercise, travelling, late nights, erratic eating etc.
Mild hormonal disturbance can cause it too.

You have to be rational and mature. You need to see a gynecologist.
She will perform an internal exam and a pelvic ultrasound scan.
That will reveal the diagnosis for sure. That is the best way to know if you are pregnant or not.
Without seeing a doctor and having an ultrasound scan, it is impossible to know if you are pregnant, non pregnant or having any other hormonal condition.
You are quite grown up, and if you are responsible enough to be sexually active or purchase the MTP kit, you can definitely be sensible enough and see a doctor on your own or with your partner.
It is not a big deal, you just need to make up your mind and do it fast.

Take care.
