Is Delay In Menstruation A Sign Of Pregnancy?
Hello, I had unprotected sex on August 23rd. I had what I believed to be my period September 10th-13th, with moderate to little bleeding. The period before was August 13th-16th. I am now 9 days late for my period and wondering if I am possiblily pregnant or if it is something else. I have taken HPT and they have come up negative but I do know for some women they can go 3-5 months and still have negative test.

Hello,
You are 9 days late for periods, you took HPT test and it shows negative report. You had unprotected sex after your last menstrual period. You are suggested to wait for a couple of days. You should also be watchful of your other early symptoms of pregnancy. Repeat pregnancy test or get a blood test done. You should get clinically examined by a gynecologist, get USG of the (uterus and fallopian tube) done to detect pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy.
You will be managed accordingly. Delay in menstruation is a sigh of pregnancy but delay can also be due to stress, anemia, thyroid dysfunction, PID, PCOS, etc. Get the pathology that is causing you symptoms be treated at the earliest. Stay away from addictions if any. Take adequate water.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
