Hi,
In the current scenario, you should go for the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres which has high specificity and sensitivity, since home pregnancy tests may not read well. If pregnancy is negative, it is likely that this menstrual disturbance is possibly due to a transient hormone imbalance and caused often by sudden weight disturbances, stress, infections, use of certain medications etc. Please get a proper evaluation by a specialist to plan further management. Maintain a healthy diet and a healthy weight. Take care.
