What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Having Negative UPT?
In the month of january i had sexual intercourse and on the third day aftr sex which was without a condom but the boy did not come in me totally but on the third day for precaution i took an unwanted-72 pill n again took it after a week because of doubts. I got my period for the month of february on 26 which lasted for 7 days. Then on march 8th i again had sex but with a condom and to my knowledge i dont think the condom broke. But i did not get my periods for the month of march. So on the 3rd of april i did the urine pregnancy test n it was negative. In the month of april i again did the urine test as i still did not get periods. This second test was on the 16th n one more again on the 22nd. All these tests were negative. But i still did not get my period n now the discharge that comes out of my vagina is a thick easy drying pasty and slight sour smell discharge. Now april comes to an end and i m worried if i am pregnant as i did not yet get my periods

Hi,
False negative test of hot is very rare so mostly you are not pregnant. Still, for the sake of confirmation, I would advise for an USG scan of the pelvis. An emergency contraceptive works to avoid pregnancy when it's taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. On top of that, you say ejaculation was avoided during unprotected sex. The sex following this were all protected with condom so the negative pregnancy report is reliable.
USG pelvic scan would reveal any other possibility for delay in period, like blighted ovum, or ovarian cyst which can cause such menstrual problem. Even thyroid problem may cause such delay. In this scenario, you need a detailed physical examination and investigations followed by specific management, under the care of a gynecologist. Please consult one.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
