I have a 28 day cycle, but today is the 31st day, and I have not yet gotten my period. We have been trying for a baby for the last few months. Is this missed period a sign of pregnancy? After how many days of a missed period should a home pregnancy test be done?

Since you have a regular 28 day cycle and today is Day 31, you can definitely take a urine pregnancy test now, especially if you are trying for a baby. Use the first morning urine for best results. If the test is negative and you still do not get your period, repeat it after 2 to 3 days. For earlier confirmation, a Beta HCG blood test gives more accurate results.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

View allMy last month periods were around 23rd and today is 25th. My periods are late. I had sex at the beginning of the month and on 12th July. I just did a pregnancy test, but it is negative. Can someone tell me why my periods are late or should I confirm with a doctor if I am pregnant or not?

Hi doctor, we have been married for seven years. We do not have children. After two years, this month my period is delayed by 36 days. I took a home pregnancy test today and it shows negative. I am suffering from severe back pain and hip pain. Is there any possibility of pregnancy? I am having slight pain like menstrual pain.

After how many days of missing period should we check pregnancy? I missed my period yesterday and today I took the test and it was negative.
