What Do You Advise foe a Missed Period? |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: My period is more than a week late. I normally have a 28 day cycle. Took 2 pregnancy tests one in the night and the other in the morning when I just woke up and they were both negative. I also feel sick . My throat hurts and for the past 2 days I've felt light headed and week and tired. Dear Claire: Pregnancy is the first concern when anyone experiences a delayed period and the effectiveness of a urine pregnancy test usually depend on the timing of the test. The test is usually positive after 2 weeks of the sexual act. If you are experiencing stress or are sick due to an infection or there is a change in your schedule for sleep, all these factors too can cause a delayed period. If you are unsure of a pregnancy you may consult you doctor for a blood test that detects pregnancy at a much earlier date. |
