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?

Periods can delay for many reasons stress, hormonal imbalance, or thyroid. Papaya or ginger may help mildly, but dont guarantee a period. A negative urine test 11 days after missed period is reassuring. Thyroid issues can cause delay, but need blood test to confirm.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Prolactin Test Test

I had a medical abortion in December 2017 and I still have not gotten my periods. I have taken a pregnancy test every month and it has been negative. What should I do and how can I get my periods back?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
