Brief Answer:
PLEASE CLARIFY REGARDING PREGNANCY TEST RESULT

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
First of all, please clarify if the pregnancy test was positive or negative.
IF it is negative, then why do you wish to have medications to avoid pregnancy ?
If the test is negative, there can be other reasons for missing periods.
Common ones are stress, weight fluctuations, travelling, exercise, late nights, smoking, drinking, ingestion of hormonal medications, mild hormonal disturbances while breastfeeding etc.
When was your last menstrual period ?
Have you had irregular cycles after childbirth ?
Also, if the test is positive, then inform me accordingly, so I can guide you regarding termination.
Are you using any contraception ?
What is your height and weight ?
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.

Brief Answer:
REPEAT THE TEST PLEASE.

Detailed Answer:
It is not possible to have no result, it would either be positive or negative, else the kit is faulty.
You should lose weight as you are overweight.
Please take a photo of the strip result, so I can tell you if it is positive or negative.
Else please repeat the test early tomorrow morning and take a photo and upload it.
I would then guide you accordingly.
