What Causes Delayed Menstruation?
Question: Hi. I am wondering if I could be pregnant. My last period was on october 24th. I have pregnancy signs but the home tester appears negative. I am on fluvoxamine.
Brief Answer:
Repeat urine pregnancy test after one week
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism.
Sometimes ovulation is delayed, hence the conception is delayed and hence the urine pregnancy test comes a bit delayed.
I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test after one week, if still negative, then you should get your hormonal profile checked and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
