Parenting & Pregnancy Missed Period Late period and negative tests
Late period and negative tests |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: Im 15 days late for my period, i am never late ever except last month the first time by 4 days, ive done 6 home pregnancy tests all negative, how long should i leave it before i go to the doctors, im really worried something is wrong Dear Lyla: Let me reassure you that late menses does not always means pregnancy. Certain conditions might cause hormonal imbalance and this could alter the regularity of your cycles. I would suggest you to have a Blood pregnancy test to rule out that possibility first if you had unprotected sex on your fertile days. If the results are negative, your doctor might probably wait until your next cycle and if it does not show again, blood work to evaluate your hormone levels and thyroid hormones might be needed to rule out other possibilities causing late menses. More common factors like changes in diet, weight gain or loss, exercise and certain medication could also account for your condition. I wish you the best. |
