What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy When Periods Are Delayed?
Question: I had my last period on 26th January. My periods are delayed this month. I have taken two pregnancy tests and they show negative. I got married six months back. Is it possible that the pregnancy tests are wrong and I might be pregnant?
Brief Answer:
Can be a delayed conception.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The chances of having a wrong pregnancy test are less but the chances of delayed conception are there. Other than this - stress, tensions on personal or professional front, unaccustomed exercise, rapid changes in your weight, ingestion of hormonal medications, late nights, erratic eating, changes in climate or altitude, travelling - all these can interfere with your cycles.
It is best to wait for a few more days and get the urine test repeated to rule out delayed conception. In case the test is negative, she can prescribe you medicines to have periods.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
