I am trying to get pregnant and had intercourse twice during my ovulation period. My period is now 7 days late, but my home pregnancy test is negative, and my blood test shows an hCG level less than 2. I am unsure why my period is delayed. Should I wait for one more week before visiting a doctor, or should I see a doctor now?

A blood HCG less than 2 confirms you are not pregnant this cycle. A delay in periods can be due to stress or hormonal changes. If the period does not start in another week, visit your doctor for evaluation.

Hi, I got married six months ago and have a thyroid problem. I will attach my report for reference. I weigh 63 kgs and my height is 155 cm. We have been trying to conceive every month. My periods are regular with a cycle of about 25 days, and I usually get my period on the 26th day. However, I have not been able to get pregnant yet. Could there be any problem related to my thyroid or other factors affecting my fertility?
