Trying To Conceive. Irregular Period. On Duphaston. Taken Urine Test. Is It Hormonal?

Hi, i have regular cycle which is 24-28 days. Now, its day 38 but i still don't have my period. I went to the OB today and the urine test says it's negative. She prescribed duphaston to be taken twice a day for 7 days. She says the reason that i still don't have my period yet is due to hormonal imbalance. I am still confused because ever since I got my period at the age of 12 and now im 32, i have a regular period. This is the first time that my period was delayed. My husband and I are trying to conceive for the a year already. please help clarify things for me. I am also scheduled to take an xray as required by my new job. My OB said its safe to get an xray as I'm not pregnant. Should i wait for 1 more week and take a preg test before taking the xray?

hello
Thanks for your query.
Once in a while, it happens that periods get delayed for no reason ( mild hormonal imbalance ).
stress, anxiety, travelling and change of place, weight loss, thyroid hormone problems, polycystic ovaries etc also can cause menstrual delay.
Yes, I would ask you to wait for your periods in fact , before taking the x ray, as sometimes, delayed conception might occur.
Finish the course of duphaston, and if you do not have withdrawal bleed, consult your doctor again before taking the x ray, although one x ray would not harm the baby.
All the best.
