Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, i had my period on march 13, started taking HCG drops on march 17 and had sex on march 20. I have regular 29 days cycle so i should have my period april 10 or 11. I am 4 days delayed now, april 14. I last took HCG drops on april 10. Took pregnancy test yesterday april 13 and it was negative. Is it sure i am not pregnant? If i am not, then what could be wrong?
The delayed period could be due to hormonal imbalance because of changing of birth control pill.
I would suggest waiting for a period. If period will delay by more than 14 days from expected period date, consult the gynecologist for a detailed examination.
For investigations of irregular menstruations. You may be asked for hormonal work up like FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, etc. Before hormonal checkup, you will be examined internally to find any organic disease like infection or cyst-ultrasonography also will reveal a good amount of information regarding your internal organs (and even pregnancy also).
Avoid stress, take a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
