What Causes Delayed Period?

Posted on Mon, 7 Apr 2014

Question: I am getting all neg pregnancy tests. Including many on the low sensitivity first response early test. 40 days late and I am a healthy 23 year old woman. I also always used condoms and had sex only 2 times before the first missed period. and I am not trying to conceive. I have no symptoms at all. I have also been under a lot of stress lately because of a move across state and financial issues. Could I still be pregnant?

Brief Answer: Not pregnant... Detailed Answer: Hi, From what your are mentioning, most probably you are not pregnant. If you would be, it would have been already shown in the tests by now. Being under a lot of stress could have caused delayed periods. I suggest to: - get an ultrasound to rule out any pathology - get your blood hormones measured (progesterone) Hope it helped! Let me know if you have further queries! Dr.Albana
