Can Delay In Period Indicate Pregnancy?

Hi,I m two days late from having my cycle. My last period was March 20 and I ovulated on April 4. I used ovulation stick to make sure. As we have been trying for 3 years. Slight cramping on and off, two pregnancy tests have come back negative? What are the chances of being pregnant?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. If you have always had regular menstruation, if all other factors like male factor, tubal patency, hormone profile etc. are normal, you can go for the home pregnancy test 3-7 days after the missed period using a fresh early morning sample. For an earlier and better clarification, you can also go for the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres. This can be followed by a trans-vaginal sonogram a week later to know the status of the pelvic organs. You have good chance of pregnancy in the current scenario. Hope this helps.
