What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Having Negative HPT?

I had a miscarriage in November, I wasn t more than 4-5 weeks. I had a normal period that was a couple of days later than usual but I think that s normal. Now I am 20 days late for my period. I ve had some symptoms of early pregnancy that have now subsided. I am usually regular with my monthly period, I ve never missed one before. (When I was pregnant I had a light period, I figured that was the implantation bleeding.) I ve taken numerous Home pregancys test and all negative. I went for a blood test when I was 10 days late and it came back negative as well. What else could it be? I know there are numerous things it could be but could it be cysts?

Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.

I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will extend my expertise to solve the problems.

Delayed or irregular periods after excluding pregnancy is not uncommon. Usually no treatment is required but if it is bothersome for you, you may need to take birth control pills. Note that they are prescirbed for your irregular periods and results in contraception so only take if you don't plan to have kids for near future.

Any combined pills like Levlen can be taken. These pills are to be taken in correspondance with your cycle i.e 1 tab from 5th through 25th day of your mentrual cycle followed by 7 days of cessation to start periods. (you must know based on your previous cycles)

Normally, it takes only one cycle of pills to correct your periods. It may be extended to next cycle if you don't get normal periods.

Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing.
