My last period was on 5th August, but I did not get my period by 5th Sept. I visited a doctor, and she prescribed Prevent N tablet for 3 days, but my period did not start by 9th Sept, so I did a serum hCG test, which came back as less than 1.20 mIU/mL. Even today, I still have not had my period. What should I do next?

Since the Beta HCG test is negative, pregnancy is ruled out. If your period did not start even after taking Prevent N, it may be due to a hormonal issue like PCOD, thyroid imbalance, or stress. A follow up with your doctor is important they may advise a hormone panel and pelvic ultrasound to check for underlying causes.

I had my last period on 20th September. I had protected sex on 20th October. I took a home pregnancy test on 28th October, which was negative, and then a beta HCG test on 4th November, which was 0.1 mIU/ml. I still have not got my period and have no pregnancy symptoms. Is there any chance that I am pregnant? Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have done a pregnancy test, and it is negative, but my periods have still not started. What could be the reason, and what should I do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Doctor I am 11 days late for my periods. I had papaya and ginger to induce my periods but with no result. I underwent urine pregnancy test 5 days ago with 2 kits, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, but the result was negative. Is this a symptom of thyroid? If not, how many more days does it take for my period to come doctor?
