Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, My period is 3 weeks late and I ve either been urinating a lot or feel like I need to but nothing but small amounts of orange urine at those times comes out. My boyfriend is fixed, and we are unprotected. I know that doesn t clear anything 100% as far as pregnancy. I m 34 and have always been regular. There are times when I feel pms symptoms, though. Curious if there may be another factor and what I could be dealing with.

Hi,
Delayed menses need not be pregnancy every time. It can be confirmed by home pregnancy test after 8 days of delay in periods.
The symptoms you have might be bladder hyperactivity (inflammation, infection, cold weather or excessive fluid intake, early diabetes apart from being a symptom of early pregnancy.
Menstrual irregularity can follow in convalescence after illness, hormonal imbalance(ovarian or thyroid problems).
Please wait for periods if pregnancy testis -ve / meet a gynaecologist in case the problem is not solved in a weeks time or gets repeated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
