Question: My period is now 2 days late and I have all the pregnancy symptoms in the book, I haven't had any sign my period is coming on at all, my nipples are getting darker, and my discharge is different and when me and my husband have sex he said it feels tighter, I took another hpt negative and today I took blood test and they said my HcG number is less than 1 but I still feel pregnant I don't get it
Brief Answer:
wait for a week
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, delay of periods can be due to several reasons like stress, new exercise schedule or altered eating habits.
But still as you are having all these pregnancy symptoms which are basically caused by rise in progesterone in body which can occur due to several other reasons do a urine pregnancy test again after a week (in case you still don't get your periods) which if negative get an ultrasound and thyroid profile testing done.
Visit your gynecologist with reports.
In case all reports are normal she will give you medicine to start your normal periods.
All the best and take care.
