So i can go see a gyne And tell the gyne i wan to do an ultrasound next week? What should i say , as im afraid the gyne might not allow me to do ultrasound

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (25 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Due to hormonal imbalance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Delayed periods for 3 weeks with negative pregnancy test is likely to be due to a mild hormonal imbalance. It is better to consult a gynecologist who after a repeat pregnancy test will prescribe you hormonal tablets after which you will have your withdrawal bleeding.
In case the delay in periods is recurrent then you can get investigations like hormonal profile and ultrasound scan done to find out the cause.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Delayed conception likely.

A faint line after 2 months is suggestive of a delayed conception. In that case it is best to wait for another 2 weeks and then test your urine again for pregnancy.

Brief Answer:
Blood test will rule out pregnancy.

The delay in periods has nothing to do with vaginal thrush. The bleeding that you had might be your period or due to an infection. The blood test will help in ruling out pregnancy completely.
