A 12 day delay in periods with both urine and Beta HCG tests being negative means pregnancy is not the reason. This can happen due to hormonal imbalance, stress, PCOD, or thyroid issues. If your period still doesnt come within a week, its best to get some basic tests like TSH, prolactin, LH/FSH, and a pelvic ultrasound. These will help find the exact cause and guide the right treatment.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a FSH,LH & Prolactin, Serum Test

My last period was on February 25, and I still have not gotten my period. I did a beta HCG test on March 25, which was 0.4 (negative), and a urine pregnancy test on April 2, which was also negative. What should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have not gotten my period even after taking Meprate, and it is now 15 days late. My pregnancy test is negative. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I usually have irregular periods, sometimes as infrequent as once in 15 days. I consulted a doctor, who examined my reports and mentioned an initial stage of PCOD, prescribing medication for 2 months. After taking the medicines, my periods were normal. My first period after marriage was normal, but now the same problem has returned. I have taken a pregnancy test, and it is negative.
