You should get your pelvic ultrasound to rule out the cause of your delayed menses.

As your urine pregnancy test is negative there is almost no chance of pregnancy.

There are so many causes of delayed period ,so you should get your pelvic ultrasound done to rule out the cause of delayed period.

Need more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You are always welcome.

Milk secretion from breast could be due to hormonal changes.

Prolactin is a hormone which plays a very important role in milk secretion from breast.

Thyroid hormone changes can also cause this symptoms.

So I would suggest you to get her serum prolactin levels and thyroid profile.

Pregnancy can also cause the same symptoms,so get her pelvic ultrasound done.

Good luck.

Brief Answer:
It could be due to hormonal changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Sorry for such a long delay in my response.
I have seen your report and in my opinion you should wait and watch for your menses.

Endometrial thickness of 11 mm could be due to hormonal disturbances means estrogen prime endometrium.

If pregnancy is less than 5 weeks endometrial thickness is 11mm.

So you should wait and watch for your menses for 7 days, if not resume than repeat your test.

Good luck.
