What does delay in periods and negative pregnancy test indicate?

Brief Answer:
REPEAT PREGNANCY TEST AFTER 1 WEEK

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for posting your query in Healthcare magic.com.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
But let me tell you that this result can be a false negative one. When there is unprotected sex during the fertile period or period of ovulation, fertilisation can take place eventually. But it takes around 15-20 days from that period for the beta-hCG to reach optimum level so that it can be detected by pregnancy test. So maybe the pregnancy test was done a bit too early. Also, if the patient is very much stressed or tensed, periods may alter and become late to appear.
So my suggestion would be to get a repeat pregnancy test after 5-7 days. If it is positive, pregnancy will be confirmed. If it is negative, chances of pregnancy will be reduced and you will need to visit a gynecologist to rule out other causes. And if in the meantime, period occurs, pregnancy can be ruled out.


Hope I have answered your question.
