Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Missed period can be due to various reasons other than pregnancy.Usually Blood test gives accurate results after 10 days of expected period date and is a confirmatory test for pregnancy determination.
Other than that it can be due to hormonal derangements which may or may not be due to any underlying pathology.Sometimes a follicle is also formed in the ovary preventing menstruation.In such case hormonal preparations are prescribed for a fixed time period.
The exact cause can be ruled out after a detailed pelvic examination and USG (ultrasound) scan which would help in giving a clear picture.
Kindly visit a Gynaecologist for evaluation so that appropriate treatment can be started accordingly.
Hope this answers your query.I will be available for follow up query.
