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.

My last period lasted 12 days, and now I am 8 days late. I have taken two pregnancy tests, both negative. However, I have been vomiting 9 out of the last 11 days, and certain smells trigger nausea. My periods are usually regular, except for last month and this month. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I take another pregnancy test or see a doctor?

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?
