How Long After Having Late Periods Can I Take A Pregnancy Test?

Hi, I missed my period, it s been 2.5 weeks since I missed my period and 7 weeks from my last menstrual period. My periods have been delayed only due to jet lag and that too for about 1 week to 10 days maximum. I took home pregnancy tests and all are negative. I got the blood work done , but still it is negative. I had protected sex using condom but I think I had during my ovalution time. I am nt sure if the condom was fine. Could you please let me know as to how many weeks should I still wait to confirm if i m pregnant or not? From past one month my sleep habits have been very irregular and have been stressed alot. What are the chances of me being pregnant?

Hello,

I think there are no chances of getting pregnant. Usually, we use a pregnancy home test at least 5days of delayed period.

There has been at least 2.5 week of the delayed period and your tests should have been positive since then.

Also, you did a blood test that is highly sensitive and shows the results earlier. The delayed period you are having may be caused by hormone imbalance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
