Hai Doctor, my period has been delayed by 8 days. I am undergoing treatment for fertility problems, and since starting treatment my periods had been regular. I visited my doctor today, and she asked me to take a urine pregnancy test, which came out negative. She advised me to wait for another 5 days, saying that sometimes fertilization can be delayed. My question is: can this really happen, is it useful to wait further, and is it safe to have sex during this time?

Yes, sometimes delayed implantation occurs. Waiting is helpful. Light intercourse is usually safe unless your doctor advised otherwise. Repeat test if no period in few days.

View allMy last period was on July 25. I consulted a gynecologist on August 9, and a pregnancy test that morning was negative. Thyroid and hormone tests were normal. The doctor prescribed Gynaset for 5 days, which I completed. On September 16, I tested for pregnancy again, and the result was positive. Can this result be considered accurate? What should I do next?

I am 26 years old. My last period was on April 26, and I did not get my period in May. I performed home pregnancy tests on June 3 and June 7, both of which were negative. I consulted a gynecologist, who prescribed Deviry 10 mg for 7 days and advised that if my period still does not occur, I should repeat a pregnancy test. Is there still a chance that I could be pregnant?

Hi Doctor, I think I have missed my period this month. I have tried two home pregnancy tests, taken 10 to 15 days after intercourse, but both results were negative. I still have not got my period, and I am very worried. I am not ready for pregnancy right now. Is there any chance that I might be pregnant despite the negative tests? If yes, what should I do? I cannot let my family know and need confirmation. If I am pregnant, I need a solution because I do not want to continue it now. Please help?
