Delayed Periods. History Of Having Protected Sex. No Symptoms Of Pregnancy Except For Tender Breasts. HPT Negative. Possible Pregnancy?

I am now on the 42nd day of my cycle. For the past 3 months i've had my cycle at around 30 days and no later than that. Before though, ive already experienced having a 40 day cycle but that just occured once. i took 3 home pregnancy tests already, which all turned out to be negative. I am sexually active, but my partner puts on a condom before ejaculating. i have no pregnancy-like symptoms except for just having tender breasts. could i be pregnant?

Hello,

Do one blood test for beta-hcg to confirm pregnancy. Early pregnancy tests are sometimes not useful.

There are several reasons of delayed period like hormonal imbalance, stress or anxiety, ovarian cyst/ PCOD, thyroid problem, wt gain/ extreme loss, irregular eating habits etc.

Need to investigate properly to rule out underlying pathology by USG lower abdomen, thyroid profile, LH/ FSH etc. So consult with your doctor and take suggestive measures.

In the mean time, avoid stress, take healthy diet with iron supplements, control body wt and take proper sleep. Good luck.
