Brief Answer:
DO ONE HOME PREGNANCY TEST.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

First of all, you need to confirm pregnancy through home pregnancy test at the earliest as you have missed period for more than 2 weeks.

Hormonal imbalance, mental stress, ovarian cyst, over weight, vaginal or pelvic infection etc can cause missed or delayed period. In that case, one ultrasound scan and complete hormone profile will be worthwhile to confirm the diagnosis after negative pregnancy test. Kindly, consult with gynecologist regarding this.

SUSTEN is QUITE USEFUL to induce period in the absence of pregnancy. Most women get their withdrawal bleeding like period within 5 to 7 days after stop taking the medicine.

Hope, this information is quite helpful to you. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Dr Soumen

Brief Answer:
REPEAT THE HOME PREGNANCY TEST.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your response.

You must REPEAT the home pregnancy test today or tomorrow as earlier test may give NEGATIVE result due to low concentration of beta-hCG in urine.

If you get NEGATIVE test result again, then you would follow previous advices which I have already described. In that case, you must consult with doctor.

Hope, it helps for you. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr Soumen
