What If My Period Does Not Show In The Next 4 Days?
Question:
I have a regular menstrual cycle, it s usually only 1-2 days off if anything. However, this month I am 8 days late! I took a pregnancy test yesterday which turned up negative. I have mild cramping, very similar to when my period is about to start but no period. I have more discharge than usual, it s very watery and feel as if my period has come but does not show up. My breasts feel very sore and heavy, and I am starting to form stretch marks on them. They appear very pointy, and my areolas seem larger than usual. If my period does not show in the next 4 days, I will be 2 weeks late.

Delay in cycle for once or twice in fee years is absolutely normal, wait for 2 weeks repeat the pregnancy test again and if still it's negative kindly get an USG abdomen and pelvis or beta HCG test to confirm pregnancy if they are negative then you can take the progesterone pill to induce the withdrawal bleeding which is available only on prescription
Take care
