I've been on the everyday birth control pills, but now my period is 9 days late. I took two pregnancy tests over the last week, and they both came back negative. I'm worried and wondering what could be causing this delay. Any insights?

Consider the following potential causes:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Stress
- Medication side effects
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Thyroid issues
Next steps:
- Wait a few more days and take another pregnancy test.
- Consult your healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and medical history.
- Get a blood test to check hormone levels and rule out underlying conditions.

View allI'm really worried because I did a medical abortion back in December last year when I was 4 weeks pregnant. I went through all the bleeding and even passed tissues and clots. Afterward, I got my periods in February and March, and my home pregnancy tests are negative. But I've noticed my stomach is growing, and I can't figure out why this is happening. I don't have any complications or pregnancy symptoms, but ultrasound isn't an option for me right now due to some family issues. What could be causing this?
Possible Causes of Spleen Enlargement* 1. *Fatty liver*: Although your fatty liver is grade 1, it might be contributing to the spleen enlargement. 2. *Portal hypertension*: Elevated bilirubin (1.6) and liver enzymes (SGOTSGPT) could indicate portal hypertension, which can cause spleen enlargement. 3. *Other potential causes*: Although your tests were mostly normal, other possible causes of spleen enlargement include lymphoma, leukemia, or a spleen disorder. *Recommendations* 1. *Follow-up ultrasound*: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 2-3 months to monitor the spleen size. 2. *Liver health*: Continue with udiliv 300 and vitamin E to support liver health. 3. *Weight management*: Maintain your weight loss efforts, as excess weight can exacerbate fatty liver and spleen enlargement. 4. *Consult a gastroenterologist*: Seek a consultation with a gastroenterologist to further investigate the cause of spleen enlargement and fatty liver.

I've got my beta hCG value at 149,449 during 6 weeks and 6 days, and my early scan at 4 weeks and 3 days showed a gestational sac and yolk sac. The doctor said to come back on the 20th for a heartbeat check. I'm worried if my hCG level is too highcould that be a problem? Any advice?
