What Causes Delayed Periods And Negative Pregnancy Test?
I m 31 years old. Two weeks ago I had what felt like period cramps, sore hips and a sore lower back. It lasted for a few days and then stopped. Now I m three days late for my period but have mild cramps and a headache. I usually have severe cramps and back pain with me period but it s nothing like that this time. I took a pregnancy test 4 days before my period was due( I used a first response one) and the test was negative. Help

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
I would suggest you to repeat your urine pregnancy test after one week, if still negative, then you should get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
