My period has been missing for the past 1 month and I have been sick for the past 2 days. I just got my blood report, and everything is normal except my ESR, which is 100 mm/h. Is this a sign of pregnancy?

ESR is not used to detect pregnancy. A missed period needs confirmation via urine or blood pregnancy test.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

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?

I took an I pill twice at the end of December with a gap of 5 days. After that, I had withdrawal bleeding in the first week of January, which lasted only 5 days like normal periods. In the last week of February, I had periods again, but they were very light, not like normal periods. Now it has been 10 days and I am still having very light bleeding. Is it normal to have this type of irregular period? I did a pregnancy test and it was negative.
