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?

Since you have already done two home pregnancy tests 10 to 15 days after intercourse and both were negative, pregnancy is unlikely but not 100 percent ruled out. For peace of mind and clarity, please get a Beta HCG blood test, which gives an accurate result. Periods can also delay due to stress, hormonal shifts, or PCOD. If the blood test is also negative, your doctor may prescribe a short course of medicine to bring your period safely.

Mam I had unprotected sex on 2nd October. She got her periods on 8th October with normal periods. If I want to be fully 100 percent assured that she is not pregnant what to do and when to do? If I take a beta hcg test then when can I take it for the perfect and final result? Will one time test be fine or is a second time test required if the first time I get a negative result? Please answer and clear my doubt sir and mam.

I have attached the HSG test report of my wife. It shows bilateral mid tubal block. Can someone please tell me if it is curable? Can we become parents naturally and how can we treat this?

I am married, and my last menstrual period was on May 9. I usually have a regular cycle of 27 to 28 days. We take proper hygiene measures after intercourse. I have not yet had my period this month. I experienced cramps around my expected date, but my period did not arrive. I took a home pregnancy test on the 34th day, which was negative. It has now been 36 days. Should I wait longer, try period inducing foods, or do heavy workouts? Please advise.
