My 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?

Sex early in the cycle and negative UPT pregnancy unlikely. Stress, hormonal shifts, PCOS can delay periods. Wait 3 to 5 more days and repeat the test with morning urine. If still negative, consult for withdrawal bleeding meds.

Today is my second day of missed period and I got a positive urine pregnancy test with a clear test line. Is it 100 percent confirmed or should I take some other test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I usually have a 26 day cycle. I am taking medicine for pregnancy and last month the doctor gave me progesterone Susten after egg rupture. Last month I got my period on 7th. As per my cycle, I was supposed to get my period this month on 3rd, but I still have not got it. Usually, I see brown spotting two days before my period. This time there are no symptoms of period, but I have mild cramps and leg pains for the last two days. Does this mean I am pregnant? When can I do a pregnancy test?
