What Causes Delayed Periods Despite Having Negative UPT?

Good morning. I am 14 days late for my period. I would really want to know if I am pregnan so i tried to have PT at home. All came out negative and my transvaginal ultrasound didnt show i am pregnant. The doctor told me that my follicles are thick, maybe because im not yet ovulating. Why so late?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, you have missed your periods for 14 days, and the UPT (Urine pregnancy test) is negative. It would be helpful if you give details about your menstrual history like whether you have regular cycles or it will always be delayed menstruation.

As you are eagerly waiting to get pregnant, I would suggest you do a thyroid profile test and an ultrasound abdomen to rule out hypothyroidism or PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) that can cause delayed menstruation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mano Rajam
