What Causes Irregular Periods And Weight Gain?

Could I still be pregnant if all of my tests are negative, but I am getting fatter? I don t get normal periods so I can t simply say I missed my period. Although, I have taken a couple tests and they came back negative, but it s been at least a month. Could that still be too early to tell?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Home Pregnancy test gives reliable results when done at least 8 days of delay in period./ blood HCG test can be done after 2 weeks of unprotected sex
Irregular periods with weight gain & pregnancy tests -ve suggest some other cause for missed periods ( PCOD/ thyroid problem)
In case the test is -ve when done at proper time, yiu should get investigations / examination & advise of a gynecologist for specific treatment.
Thanks.
