What Causes Delayed Periods And HcG Level Less Than 1?

Not due to pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Serum levels of HCG start rising 10 days after conception or ovulation. Since your periods are already overdue by 2 days the HCG levels should have started rising by now.
A levels at 1 is too low to be suggestive of pregnancy. A pregnancy is not likely under these circumstances. The symptoms that you are having are all non specific and are not confirmatory of pregnancy. It is best to wait for a week and if the periods are late then get the tests done again.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Can be due to stress.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Yes. If the test is still negative and periods do not come then a mild hormonal imbalance or stress can cause the delay in periods. You can get hormonal pills prescribed to have a withdrawal bleeding in that case.
HCG is a pregnancy hormone but can be mildly raised in case of chemical pregnancy.
The chances of late conception are there. It is best to wait and then repeat the test.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
