Hello,

You can undergo one home pregnancy test by today or tomorrow. Blood test for beta-hCG is more reliable to confirm pregnancy.

Other reasons of late period are mental stress, hormonal imbalance, wt gain/ loss, irregular diet habit etc may cause late period.

Please consult with gynecologist after initial test report. Good luck.

Hi,
The delayed periods with breast tenerness and fullness may be taken as a sign of early pregnancy,Pl. note few mare changes in pregnant breast in early pregnancy.
The areola (dark part of nipple becomes darker?black.
There are small pimple like things on areola.
If you find the changes in this way yes. its likely to be pregnqancy.
The same changes(as you have) however can be seen in delayed cycles in menstual dtsturbences.So its better to get pregnancy test done.
Blood HCG test can get +VE after a week of conception
Urine Preg. test can be done after 8-10 days delay in periods.
Thank you.
