What Causes Delay In Menstruation?

I am 7 days late on my period. I usually have a 26 day cycle. I took a home pregnancy test 2 days after my missed period and another one this morning. Both were negative. I ve been having menstrual type cramps for a couple days now and I ve been urinating frequently. I am also more tired than usual. These are similar symptoms of my first pregnancy only difference is that back then my home pregnancy tests actually came out positive right at 4 weeks (the day of my expected period). Could I be pregnant this time or all these symptoms just coincidence?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your query carefully.
As per details,
These can be the symptoms of pregnancy,but we could not comment on pregnancy without test.
As you did home pregnancy test and it comes out negative,there are chances of false positive and false negative result as well.
On other side these can be the symptoms of Pre-Menstural Syndrome.
I would suggest you to go for Serum Beta HCG test and Pelvic Ultrasound aswell.
Then consult with Gynaecologist.

Hope so it will be helpful.
You can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you Good health.
Regards
