What Causes Delayed Menstruation And Negative Pregnancy Test?

Brief Answer:
Of women trying pregnancy 20-25% of them conceive in each menstrual cycle
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
I appreciate your concerns. From the test it is clear that you have normal ovulation. Among women trying for pregnancy 20-25% of them conceive in each menstrual cycle. All of them do not conceive. I wish you have good luck next time.
There is no need to do the ovulation testing. If you have intercourse 3-4 times in a week it covers the fertile period. This avoids the stress of testing too.
To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI and quit smoking ( if you're a smoker).
Take a tablet of folic acid daily.
Since how long you have been trying for pregnancy? If it is about a year then please do the baseline hormone investigations, HSG and semen analysis for your husband. The results will help in planning further treatment.
I hope this is helpful.
If you have any further concerns I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
