I recently did a serum beta hCG test and want to understand the result. I think the test indicates a negative pregnancy result, but if I am not pregnant, what could be the reason for my missed period? My periods are usually regular, and this is the first time I have missed one.

If your Serum Beta hCG test is negative, pregnancy is ruled out as the cause of your missed period. First time delayed periods can happen due to stress, recent illness, weight changes, or hormonal fluctuations. Maintain hydration, healthy diet, and manage stress. If your periods do not start in 2 weeks or irregularity continues, consult your doctor. You can book a Thyroid Profile and Prolactin test to check hormonal reasons for missed periods if delay persists.

I missed my period on 6th July and checked a pregnancy test, which was negative. Even my BHCG test report is negative. My doubt is, will the report change after a week? When can I expect my period? Please clarify my doubt?

My pregnancy blood test was negative, even after a 55 day delay in my periods. I also experienced weight gain. My doctor prescribed Nostra CR 10 (2 tablets per day). I completed the course 8 days ago, but my periods have still not started. What should I do next?
