I am not married and have never had sexual intercourse, but my period has been delayed for 60 days. I consulted a doctor, who prescribed folic acid and iron tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, but my period still has not started. I do not have thyroid or hormonal problems. What could be the reason, and what should I do?

If hormones are normal, it may be due to stress, PCOS, or low weight. Do TSH, FSH, LH, and Pelvic USG. Avoid skipping meals and track cycles.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a FSH and LH Test Test

Book TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test Book FSH and LH Test Test

I had my last period on 20th September. I had protected sex on 20th October. I took a home pregnancy test on 28th October, which was negative, and then a beta HCG test on 4th November, which was 0.1 mIU/ml. I still have not got my period and have no pregnancy symptoms. Is there any chance that I am pregnant? Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have not gotten my period even after taking Meprate, and it is now 15 days late. My pregnancy test is negative. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My last period was on 5th August, but I did not get my period by 5th Sept. I visited a doctor, and she prescribed Prevent N tablet for 3 days, but my period did not start by 9th Sept, so I did a serum hCG test, which came back as less than 1.20 mIU/mL. Even today, I still have not had my period. What should I do next?
