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?

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

View allMy 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?

My period was due on March 18, but I missed it. After waiting 7 days, I took Regestrone twice a day for 5 days. Bleeding started 3 days after stopping the pills, but the flow is very light, red in color, and not brown. I am not experiencing spotting, and my pregnancy test is negative. Why am I having such a light flow?
