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.

Take a Beta HCG Test Test or Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test

View allMy period has been missing for the past 1 month and I have been sick for the past 2 days. I just got my blood report, and everything is normal except my ESR, which is 100 mm/h. Is this a sign of pregnancy?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I am O positive and my husband is B positive. I am married for one and a half years. Before marriage I had a completely regular period cycle of 29 days. After marriage, in whichever month I had sex, my period gets delayed by 6 to 7 days. In the month in which I do not have sex, periods come in 29 to 31 days. We did not use any pills or condoms. The only method was no inside ejaculation. Now we want a baby. In September month, for the first time he ejaculated inside me. Now I have completely missed my period this October month. My last period was on 1st September. UPT is negative. Blood test HCG 0.44 mIU/ml is also negative. What is this behaviour?

I took an I pill twice at the end of December with a gap of 5 days. After that, I had withdrawal bleeding in the first week of January, which lasted only 5 days like normal periods. In the last week of February, I had periods again, but they were very light, not like normal periods. Now it has been 10 days and I am still having very light bleeding. Is it normal to have this type of irregular period? I did a pregnancy test and it was negative.
