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
