I have been experiencing symptoms that could indicate pregnancy, including headache, backache, nausea, and fatigue. My period is 10 days late. I took a pregnancy test five days ago and it was negative, and I took another one today which was also negative. I was taking birth control but stopped when I noticed my period was late, hoping it might start. I have scheduled an appointment with my primary doctor, but it is not for another two weeks.

Even if two UPTs were negative, symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and backache still need review. A Serum beta hCG is more sensitive and confirms pregnancy. If still negative, consult your doctor to rule out hormonal delay.

I took a pill on June 30, and since then my menstruation has been irregular. I am now feeling heavy bloating in my stomach, as if something is inside. I had an ultrasound on July 11, which showed nothing except PCOS. I have also done home pregnancy tests three times, the last on July 21, and all were negative. Why am I feeling so full and why is my tummy extended? Should I have another ultrasound? Please advise.

I had sex with my boyfriend on the 24th and 25th, and my period was due on the 27th. I have not gotten my period yet. I took pregnancy tests on the 31st and the 1st, and both were negative. I still have not gotten my period. What should I do?

Hi, I missed my period last month and took a pregnancy test, which was negative. I consulted a doctor, and she prescribed Meprate tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, and Thursday was the last day of taking the tablets, but I still have not gotten my period. How many days after stopping the medication does it usually take for periods to start? Please advise. Thank you.
