What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Having Negative HPT?
I had a miscarriage in November, I wasn t more than 4-5 weeks. I had a normal period that was a couple of days later than usual but I think that s normal. Now I am 20 days late for my period. I ve had some symptoms of early pregnancy that have now subsided. I am usually regular with my monthly period, I ve never missed one before. (When I was pregnant I had a light period, I figured that was the implantation bleeding.) I ve taken numerous Home pregancys test and all negative. I went for a blood test when I was 10 days late and it came back negative as well. What else could it be? I know there are numerous things it could be but could it be cysts?
