What Causes Missed Periods?
Hi! it s been 2 month now since I have my last period; also 2 month of me being married. We re not planning to get baby soon, but 2 month with no period is stressing me. We have tried more than 2 times to do the pregnancy test but it all comes out as negative... Any advise?

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Hormonal imbalances can occur for newly wed ladies with all the stress of the marriage and lifestyle changes.
*is this the first time you have missed your period?
*do you hav any other medical issues or take any medications?
I recommend :
- and OBGYN consult
-blood tests (complete blood count, Thyroid stimulating hormone, prolactin, estrogen levels, beta HCG)
-ultrasound abdomen to check for ovarian cysts.
Based on these results we can find out if it needs treatment or not.
Nipple stimulation, major lifestyle changes, sudden weight changes, stress, illness, travel across time zones, sudden weight changes can all cause hormone changes that can delay period temporarily.
Ovarian cysts are another cause.
Its unlikely that you are pregnant as your tests are negative even after 2 months.
Just try to relax and maintain healthy diet and lifestyle.
Use contraception until you are ready to have a baby. Once you have regular periods you can use the safe period method by avoiding intercourse during your fertile period (usually the middle third of your cycle).
Hope this helps.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
