What Are Delayed Periods And Negative Result In Pregnancy Test Suggestive Of?

My last period was on 10/22/16, and lasted for seven days. According to my calculations and the online calculators, I should have started again on 11/17/16, but it is normal for it to come around the 20-25. I still have no signs of my period. I have taken two hpt and they both were negative. I would like to know if this is because my last period lasted for so long this months period will be late, and should I go for a blood pregnancy test

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Pregnancy test will give positive result only once your period is delayed by 8-10 days from the normal expected period date.
Your normal cycle is 20-25 days.
So if take 25 is maximum days and calculate the delay in period.
If it is delayed by 8-10 days then only pregnancy test will give positive result.
You can also go for blood HCG test as it is very accurate and even give positive result within 7 days of delayed period.
Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise
Hope I have answered your query

Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
