I have been experiencing symptoms that could indicate pregnancy, including headache, backache, nausea, and fatigue. My period is 10 days late. I took a pregnancy test five days ago and it was negative, and I took another one today which was also negative. I was taking birth control but stopped when I noticed my period was late, hoping it might start. I have scheduled an appointment with my primary doctor, but it is not for another two weeks.

Even if two UPTs were negative, symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and backache still need review. A Serum beta hCG is more sensitive and confirms pregnancy. If still negative, consult your doctor to rule out hormonal delay.

Hi, I missed my period last month and took a pregnancy test, which was negative. I consulted a doctor, and she prescribed Meprate tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, and Thursday was the last day of taking the tablets, but I still have not gotten my period. How many days after stopping the medication does it usually take for periods to start? Please advise. Thank you.

My doctor has put me on progesterone suppositories since day 14 of my cycle to support a possible pregnancy. My period is four days late, and I have a negative home pregnancy test as well as a negative blood test. Can the progesterone suppositories be causing my period to be late?

I had sex with my boyfriend on the 24th and 25th, and my period was due on the 27th. I have not gotten my period yet. I took pregnancy tests on the 31st and the 1st, and both were negative. I still have not gotten my period. What should I do?
