My wife has missed her periods. We have done two pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. We always use protection during sex. We are concerned, what could be the reason for her missed periods, and what should we do?

If protected and test is negative, pregnancy is unlikely. Stress or hormones may delay periods. Do TSH, FSH, and Prolactin blood tests to find the cause.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test or Take a FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH) Test

I have a 19 day delayed period, but both blood and urine pregnancy tests are negative. What could be the main reason for this delay, doctor?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am not married and have never had sexual intercourse, but my period has been delayed for 60 days. I consulted a doctor, who prescribed folic acid and iron tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, but my period still has not started. I do not have thyroid or hormonal problems. What could be the reason, and what should I do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Doctor my periods are delayed for 12 days. I performed a urine pregnancy test and it is negative. I also did a beta hcg test and it is also negative. Doctor can you give me some suggestions?
