I am currently four days late on my period. I took a pregnancy test, but it was negative. I noticed slight cramping a few days before I was supposed to get my period, and I also have slight pain in my side that started recently after being two days late. Should I retest since my period still has not come?

A negative test at 4 days late may still be too early if ovulation was delayed. Stress, travel, illness, or hormonal fluctuations can delay periods. Mild cramping and side pain may indicate early period signs or ovulation pain (mittelschmerz). Retesting after 2 to 3 days with early morning urine is advised. If pain increases or no period by 7 to10 days, consult a doctor.

Question

I got my HCG test report and it shows below 1.2 mg. My period is due in 3 days. What should I do to get my periods? Please help me.

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?

Question

I have skipped my periods this month and I am sexually active. There was a day when I saw some blood and after that there has been no sign, and I have not got my period. I did a urine pregnancy test and it was negative. There was a time when I had unprotected sex but I took a pill immediately the next day. Why is this happening? Is it normal?
