I had protected sex with my partner on 12th June and got my periods on 21st June, which was very light compared to usual and lasted for three days. I took a pregnancy test after a week, which was negative. I took another test after four days, which was also negative. Now in July my period was due on 21st July but I am nine days late. Is there any chance of pregnancy?

If you had protected sex and two pregnancy tests came negative after your light period, pregnancy is unlikely. Stress or hormonal fluctuation can delay periods. Wait another 3 to 5 days and then do a Serum beta hCG Test to confirm. Light flow in June could also be a regular period with lesser bleeding.

Hello doctors, I had my periods on 18th June. I am on Normoz DS for PCOD. My periods are generally irregular and 10 to 15 days late. I am trying to conceive. I checked for pregnancy at home and the tests were negative on both 23rd and 27th July. Please advise what I should do. I am also having a throat infection and the doctor prescribed Augmentin. Is it safe if I am pregnant? I am very scared regarding my periods as well.

I am 22 years old and married. I am a C section mother of a 1.5 year old baby. My period is missed, and there has been no physical relationship with my husband. We tested with a pregnancy kit, the first result was negative, and the second was positive. My last period was on August 25. I also have constipation, digestive problems, and pain in the lower stomach. Please help me.
