What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Having Negative UPT?

I had my last period on March 7, and as of right now, I am 8 days late.All home pregnancy tests have come back negative. My period on March 7th was my first in over 2 years due to a pregnancy, and then nexplanon insertion along with breast feeding. I am having some pain in my abdomen, but not what I would call severe pain. I have had 2 ectopic pregnancies in the past, one in each tube. My left fallopian tube was removed after my second ectopic. Do you think I should be concerned, or do you believe my body is still just trying to adjust after all of the hormonal changes of the last few years?

hello..
thanks for trusting the health care magic doctors for ur health related queries.

firstly I want to tell you that delay menses having many causes, one of the most common cause in ur age is pregnancy, but as u told that it UPT is negative then pregnancy is ruled out.

delay in menses having many causes like endocrinological and pathological causes in the body mainly in ovaries,one of the most common cause of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), this causes irregular menses, acne, obesity and hormonal imbalance like insulin resistance etc.

as per ur information ectopic pregnancy can also causes irregular menses, so don't worry, relax.

with above discussion u can try out my suggestions-
1. relax, menses will be regular with time, u can wait.
2. if u r in hurry then visit nearby gynecologist. he/she can help you.

good luck
